Student Response and Assessment Tools
Lesson Idea Name: The Metric System

Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Level(s): 5th grade
Content Standard Addressed:
MGSE5.MD.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units (mass, weight, length, time, etc.)
within a given measurement system (customary and metric) (e.g., convert 5cm to 0.05m), and use these
conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
Technology Standard Addressed:

ISTE Standard 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Selected Technology Tool:

☐ Socrative ☐ iRespond ☐ Quizlet ☐ Plickers ☒ Kahoot! ☐ Office365 Forms
☐ Other:
URL(s) to support the lesson (if applicable):
Technology that student will use to respond to questions/prompts:

☐ Computer ☐ Hand-held student response system (like iRespond) ☒ Phone ☒ Tablet (such as iPad)
☒ Other wireless device (such as iPod Touch)
Type of session:
☒ Teacher-Paced ☐ Student-Paced
Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):
☒ Remembering ☒ Understanding ☐ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☐ Creating
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

Multiple Means of Engagement: The students will be engaged in the activity individually by solving and
answering the questions on their own device, but they will also be participating in discussions about their
thoughts on each question.
Multiple Means of Action and Expression: The students will be engaging in class discussions as well as working
individually on solving the questions.
Multiple Means of Representation: I have incorporated visuals that will help the students solve these
problems. These include an anchor chart and a picture of the Metric ladder on each of the conversion slides. I
have also allotted more time on the conversion problems.
Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.
The teacher will introduce the Metric System to the students through an anchor chart and a Nearpod
presentation. Next, the students will complete a whiteboard activity in which the teacher writes a conversion
problem and the board, the students solve it on their whiteboard, then show it to the teacher. Next, the
students will complete an individual task and meet with the teacher for math groups. The SRT activity will be
the conclusion to this math class period.
Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
Spring 2018_SJB
☐ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☒ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☐ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☒ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):
Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity:

I have created a Kahoot! activity that reviews the content learned during the Metric System. The students will
have their phone or class iPad to answer the questions posed in the Kahoot! activity. After each question, the
teacher will ask a student to explain the correct answer and show the work that they did to get the answer.
Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):

☒ Multiple choice ☐ Multiple select ☒ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☐ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☐ Longer open-ended response
If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):
1. When converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we ____ by 10.
2. When converting from a smaller unit to a larger unit, we ____ by 10.
3. All of the following are Base Units EXCEPT:
4. (T/F) It is impossible to convert liters to meters.
5. 30 meters = ___ millimeters
6. 500 centiliters = ___ decaliters
7. 472 decigrams = ___ decagrams
8. 54.3 kilometers = ___ millimeters
Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?
☒ Yes ☐ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and
display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?
I chose to show the answers immediately in order to spark classroom conversation. A student who answered
the question correctly is called on to explain their thinking and how they got the correct answer. This provides
an opportunity for students to see any misconceptions that they may have. As a teacher, I can also see the
areas of strengths and weaknesses in real time. If a majority of the students gets a question incorrect, I will go
through and work it out as a class.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?

After this activity, the students will complete a thumbs up/thumbs down check. If the students felt confident
in the material from the Kahoot!, they will give a thumbs up. If they are not confident, they will give a thumbs
down.
How will the data be used?

After this activity, I will have a data set that can show me the strengths and weaknesses of the class. I will use
this data to help plan my future lessons. For example, if the students were struggling on a specific question, I
will review that topic the next class period with them. I will also use the thumbs up/thumbs down activity to
determine which students need more support in this content area. This data set will be for my use only, not

shared with the students or the parents. However, I will send post a copy of the questions for parents to
review and work with their student at home.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.

My goal for this activity is to ensure that my students feel comfortable solving problems and confident in their
knowledge of the Metric System conversions.
Reflective Practice:
This activity is ultimately beneficial for both the teacher and the students. The students are receiving
excellent review of the content they have learned. This review gives them insight on and practice with
questions similar to what will be on a unit test. Kahoot! makes this review into a fun, engaging activity that
can feel more like a game than an assessment. This can make the students more motivated and engaged in
the review. The activity also provides quick, in-time feedback for the teacher. This feedback can be used to
plan and facilitate future instruction. This tool can be used to create a positive learning experience for the
students.
