MAP Science Growth

A couple of weeks ago we took our mid-year MAP test for science.  This is a checkpoint to see if we are on track to reach our goals for the science MAP test in the spring.  We have individual goals that we are working towards as well as reaching a goal of 205. The score 205 of is what the NWEA (the creator of the MAP tests) says a 5th grader should reach at the end of their 5th grade year.

While reaching our goals is great and wonderful, I always want to stress that growing is important.  If a student is growing then they are learning.  I want all my students to LEARN.

To help show that we are GROWING and LEARNING, we have a data wall in our science class room.  The data wall has two graphs for each class.  1. the fall class scores and 2. the winter class scores.  Here they are for each class:

5A

5B

5C

5D

To help emphasize growth (and practice referencing graphs), I asked students to see if their class showed growth from the fall to the winter test.
What do you think, did the classes grow from the fall to the winter? Answer in the comment section.
