As with any assignment, motivating students to complete MATHstream interactive videos can be challenging. Helping students set attainable but challenging, goals is one way to help students take ownership of their learning in MATHstream.
Goals should help students move from compliance to a growth mindset. In a growth mindset, students focus on mastering skills and standards rather than grades.
Goal setting helps students become more aware of what should be being learned.
Student engagement is higher when students are aware of the learning they are expected to experience.
Goals should help students focus on the most critical areas of their learning.
MATHstream’s Hints, Answer Passes, and Power-ups provide students with a clear path of support.
Collaborative goals provide opportunities for students to facilitate conversations with parents and teachers regarding their learning.
Set benchmark goals. It rewards and encourages progress through assigned streams.
Set a MATHstream completion goal appropriate for the unit or topic in which you are working.
Create growth goals for students. (Sample growth goals listed below.)
Alice will reduce the number of streams she does not master the first time by 10% during this unit.
Cam will complete a 3-2-1 Stream Summary, including reflections on his missed questions, for each MATHstream video watched.
Timothy will complete one additional unassigned stream per week.
