Standards Checklist: Math

In math, my class has a standards checklist for each unit.  Basically, this is a list of the standards where students show they have mastered the standard.  These are all kept in a file folder for the entire school year.  At the end of the year, the students have a portfolio they can be proud of :)  This past year, I used file folders and just stapled the pages for each unit on the right side of the folder.  After students complete a unit, I staple the new one on top of the old one.  This year, I am using 2-hole clasps that go at the top of the folder, similar to those seen in doctor office records.  I searched for these for a while, but they were all sooo expensive!  In Quill, I found where they actually sold the clasps by themselves.  These ended up only costing about $10.00 for 100.  I also bought a 2-hole punch that was less than $15.00.  I am really looking forward to implementing this improving idea this year!
When students complete their checklist, and before they turn it in for a grade (after each unit), they work with their station partner.  The students trade folders and evaluate each others work.  They are to offer feedback.  Through my master's course work, I learned about 2+2 feedback.  2 positive comments, and 2 comments of improvement needed.  I am going to try and implement that this year with the students.  They actually do a really good job with correcting.  I tell them to pretend they are the teacher.  They seem to like that idea :)

This is the front cover of the standards checklist.  I write their name on the tab.

This is what it looks like open.  You can put things on the left, but I like to keep it all on the right.

This is what a finished page looks like.

This is a close-up of what the checklist looks like.  It's a simple table with the standards on the left and the students' work on the right.  Under the standard, you can see how the students offer feedback to one another.

This was after much revisiting!

Below are pictures of what my NEW standards checklist folders look like.  I do not have the papers in them yet, but I wanted to show you the prongs I will be using this year.
