Abstract
This article focuses on a yearlong collaborative project to study the role of interactive observational assessment in student learning of mathematical concepts. Interactive observational assessment is a pedagogical approach that invites engagement between teacher and student through written dialogue to help students develop their understanding of mathematics. Students are engaged in a mathematical problem while the teacher circulates among them to observe and make note of their work. Rather than nod and say, “Yes, you have it” or tell the students that they “have not found the solution yet,” the teacher responds to them by writing questions that challenge their thinking and mathematical reasoning. Knowing the type of question needed for this purpose and knowing how to ask it effectively are fundamental to this process.
