Digging Into Student Thinking: Analyzing Student Work in Grades 3–5
Session Description:
What can student work tell us about how our learners think, reason, and make sense of mathematics? In this interactive session, teachers of grades 3–5 will engage in a structured process for analyzing student work to uncover patterns in understanding and misconceptions. Participants will learn how to use student evidence to identify instructional next steps, design targeted supports, and refine core math practices.
Through collaboration and guided protocols, teachers will:
-
Examine student samples to interpret mathematical reasoning and strategy use.
-
Connect analysis to TEKS-aligned learning goals and success criteria.
-
Discuss how to adjust instruction and feedback to deepen conceptual understanding.
-
Build a routine for using student work as a driver of professional learning and instructional improvement.
Audience: Grade 3–5 teachers, instructional coaches, and math leaders
This session will be using Bluebonnet Learning as the curriculum material.
