@Erum-Zahid One of my favourite formative assessment tools is hinge questions—they help me quickly check student understanding during a lesson and adjust my teaching on the spot. I also use collaborative activities and exit tickets to uncover learning gaps and guide my next steps. These tools make learning more interactive, responsive, and student-focused.
