Bryant 5-Score
In the school classroom, assessment and grading is a huge way in which mindset messages are given to students. Grades give very fixed messages to students, who often receive a grade and think that it defines not only what they can do but who they are as people. Furthermore, students in maths classes rarely know where they are in their own learning path. They can tell you the chapter of the maths textbook they are working from, but not much more that.
Our proprietary Bryant 5-Score is an assessment for learning, it is based on the communication of three things - where students are, where they need to be, and a way to close the gap between the two. We provide detailed diagnostic feedback of your child's performance in the 5 strands of the mathematics syllabus, all of which comprise the Mathematics GCSE assessment: Number, Ratio, Algebra, Geometry and Statistics. The Bryant 5-Score will be there for your child throughout their tuition plan to map their growth, and strive for new targets.
How does it work?
1. At the start of your elite tuition plan your allocated tutor will visit parent and child to allow them to undergo IXL's diagnostic quiz, for 1-hour.
2. This will provide them with a baseline score for their ability in the 5 mathematical strands and will allow both tutee and tutor to initiate a structured plan for future tuition sessions.
3. Throughout the plan, your child will complete short tasks during tuition to demonstrate their improvement in the relevant strands.
4. This progress will be illustrated through the 'Bryant 5-Score' reports emailed to parents on a monthly basis.
Why is it important?
1. Number – Nurturing the ability to act upon numbers flexibly within everyday life
2. Ratio – Cultivating the ability to budget, scale, and allocate resources successfully
3. Algebra – Understanding the language for describing a situation and generalising
4. Geometry – Improving visual ability and spatial understanding
5. Statistics – Understanding the likelihood of events, informing our ability to make decisions
