Currently we are all about achieving mastery in Maths at our school. An INSET course gave me some descriptors for the different levels. A moment of enlightenment :) gave me the idea of using Po the Kung Fu Panda as the ideal character as he is on his way to achieving Mastery like Grand Master Oogway.
The Grade descriptors PPT give a poster to display for learners to understand where they are going. (The SMART notebook is just the creation file for the image in case you wish to change it slightly).
I've used the SkiRoute differentiation for some time. The idea is that you grade questions or tasks in difficulty and then you either tell your learners which level to choose or allow them to choose themselves. They obviously aspire to be able to do the black route hardest questions and it gives them a sense of achievement when they can.
Another idea I've been using is asking them to write their own questions which can be then used to give to the rest of the class. This seems to work quite well as an end of lesson plenary as it can give a really good indication of what level they are confident at. It also gives you a great opportunity to write a positive comment and then an action task challenge for the learner to respond to at the start of the next lesson. See attached sticker example.
