The Rubik’s Cube Changed My Life: Shifting Assessment One Turn at a Time – Melissa Dean
In this presentation geared towards Grade 5 to 12 educators, we’ll explore the real reason our math classrooms still need a makeover: our assessment philosophy. I’ll start by sharing how I’ve built my inquiry math mathematics classroom around 5 pillars, and then transition to talking about the 5 attributes of inquiry-based assessment, all framed within the context of learning how to solve the Rubik’s Cube.
