Study Guide: Skills, Processes & Principles
Six Learning Skills and Work Habits
Reported SEPARATELY from achievement on report cards. They do NOT affect grades.
1. Responsibility — completing work, meeting deadlines
2. Organization — managing time/materials. Key behaviour: "identifying, gathering, evaluating, and using information, technology, and resources to complete tasks"
3. Independent Work — working on your own effectively
4. Collaboration — working with others
5. Initiative — "looks for and acts on new ideas and opportunities for learning"
6. Self-Regulation — managing emotions, monitoring own learning. Key behaviour: "seeking clarification or assistance when needed"
Seven Mathematical Processes
1. Problem solving, 2. Reasoning and proving, 3. Reflecting, 4. Selecting tools and computational strategies, 5. Connecting, 6. Representing, 7. Communicating
Multiplying is NOT a process — it is an operation.
Reflecting = monitoring thinking, considering alternatives, checking reasonableness
Representing = using multiple models/tools (counters, drawings, arrays, number lines) to show thinking
Seven Fundamental Principles of Assessment
Assessment must be: fair/transparent/equitable, ongoing/varied, supportive of all students including special ed, and provide clear descriptive feedback.
Assessment must NOT be limited to product-based tasks only — it requires multiple forms (observation, conversation, product).
