Given there is a wide variety of assessments used in mathematics it can be challenging for leaders and teachers to know how to utilise assessments in order to address the needs of the class as well as the individual needs of students. This presentation will take you through the process of how St John XXIII primary school have utilised the ‘counting’ component of the mathematics assessment interview (MOI) to formulate counting goals for individual students. This workshop will cover the implementation of the goals and how these compliment a problem solving approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics.
