25 files to make up the following: Two rating scales - 0-5 and 0-10. Vibrant, gradient-coloured from red to green. Each scale image is ready for A3 (29.7am x 42cm) printing so a full scale will be up to approx. 3 x A3 (or approx. 120cm.) Title letters are ready to print on A4 paper (21cm x 29.7cm) Options available are black and the vibrant, gradient of red to green. Smileys if you want to help communicate what each position on the scale represents for a particular activity. These scales are excellent to use when gauging understanding or confidence levels e.g. at the start of a lesson, children answer a set of questions and then post-it their name on the scale reflecting however many questions they got correct. The same questions can be asked after the learning has taken place and children can move their name post-its up the scale to reflect their progress. Simple but effective! (Useful for observations to sign-post progress or increased confidence levels.) The scales can be stuck back to back before laminating to easily switch between the scales. You can even print out mini versions and stick them into books or onto worksheets and have children assess / provide feedback on their own performance. A simple but very effective tool when it comes to assessment and reflection!
