1. Checking of Understanding & Surfacing Misconceptions/ Common Errors
Example 1: This is a lesson review where students attempted the short quiz on a GoogleForm, embedded in the class Maths blog. Their responses were captured in the GoogleSpreadsheet which has been formatted to highlight incorrect answers. Errors were surfaced for discussion in class.

Example 2: Common mistakes (from test papers) were surfaced and put up in the Maths blog for discussion. Prior to discussion, students were to share their thoughts on what's possibly the thinking behind the working.

2. Demonstration of Understanding
Example: Students were introduced to several problem solving strategies. To demonstrate their understanding, they were to identify one and illustrate with an example where the strategy was used to solve the problem.

3. Articulating thought processes
In the form of viva voce, students were tasked to explain how they solve a problem verbally. This requires them to use the mathematical language to articulate their thought processes. - Example 1: Viva Voce by Sandy
