Cross Hill Test Readiness

The focus for today’s session was planning for test review. We discussed creating interactive resources that promote students’ cognitive engagement. Below are the samples discussed, and some were created using Claude.ai

Slide Deck Samples:

You will be prompted to make a copy in Google Docs. You can download and open/edit in PowerPoint.

• Evaluate the choices, eliminate 2 choices

• Work Problem Rework with a Worked Example

Recommended Schedule

Day 1: Eliminate the Choices - Students examine multiple-choice questions, determine which 2 choices can be eliminated, and justify their decisions.

Day 2: Evaluate the Choices - Students examine each choice and determine why the test maker put those choices. Students explain why another student would pick that choice.

Day 3: Information Gap

Day 4: Math Scavenger Hunt

Day 5: Small-Groups to address identified and targeted needs
