The Importance of Assessment in Maths

Tom: In maths I've had students do a kind of each each pair of kids was allocated a topic to do like a revision presentation on and then present it to the class. The first ten minutes of the lesson is quite good because it's a fresh and novel but by the time the seventh PowerPoint is is on you are bored out your mind, he says. Tom: Is assessment important here or is it more just that kind of the process of doing it that's important? He says if you kill the process with the assessment it critters the spirit remember this is a celebration.
