[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2018-19, my kid took all their math tests with paper and pencil.  Teachers would circle errors on tests and return them to students.

Now, every single test is on the iPad, there is no partial credit, and no feedback on errors.  Teachers also don't get to see where students are getting stuck--I wonder how much of these score drops can be linked to iPad assessments.[/quote]

This is a big problem for my 4th grader. He told me he got a 12/16 on a test last week but didn't know what he got wrong. There needs to be an easy way for kids to review what they got wrong so they can learn.

Anecdotally, his MAP RIT score hasn't changed since last year, it's just bouncing around the same level. I guess he's not the only one. [/quote]
This is true of my 6th grader, too.  As long as she gets a good enough score, she never tries to figure out what she got wrong.  I remember always looking at returned work to understand my mistakes.  That feedback loop is super important to learning.[/quote]
