D13 - (Year 7 to Year 12) Mixed Six Tasks - A Framework for Assessment and Proficiencies - James Mott

(Year 7 To Year 12)

Session Description

In this session, attendees will learn how to create a ‘mixed six task’ - six questions of increasing complexity based on Bloom’s taxonomy in a mathematics context which also address the mathematical proficiencies. From ‘factual recall’ to ‘critiquing a fallacy’, the structure of a mixed six task can be applied to any topic across years 7-12. Attendees will be provided with practical guidance on how to write questions that target different levels in Bloom’s taxonomy and see how they can be mapped to the mathematical proficiencies. The ‘mixed six task’ framework can also be used as a lens to evaluate the types of questions that students are asked in assessments and how to modify questions to ensure that the mathematical proficiencies are being addressed. Attendees will be provided with samples of ‘mixed six tasks’ across the curriculum.
