Does anyone have suggestions for correcting Math papers with students?

This isn’t with students, but it’s a a quick way to grade math papers (and works well for vocab tests or short answer assignments in any subject):
Create a document with 3 or 4 columns. Number each column 1–30 with a line next to each number. Print and copy a bunch and cut out the columns. For every assignment, give each student one of these. They write their name and assignment on top and draw a line at the number you tell them to — ex. If there are only 19 questions they draw a line under number 19.

Now all you have to grade are these strips of paper! It goes super fast, is easier to manage — you can even sneak them in faculty meetings to grade 😁.
Grade the strips first and then go over the papers to see the work. It’s also a quick and easy way to see what questions were commonly missed

Been doing this for several years with 5th grade students. They choose a colored pencil from the caddy on their tables (no black, grey, brown, yellow). I always have to double check right/wrongs the first few weeks. And also teach them simply CROSS OUT incorrect answers, & NOT draw pictures all over the papers. But the payoff is totally worth the work. I love that they get immediate feedback, and an opportunity to revise their understanding before walking out the door. 👍 WIN-WIN!

So they grade their own paper, mark out wrong answers and then correct the wrong ones in class?

We mostly did this with homework. They would use a red pen and correct someone else paper, usually boys check girls and girls check boys. Then I give out the answers and I ask for the ones where they missed more than 1/3 or 1/2, they give the other ones back and then I work with those kids in a small group. It made homework checking so much quicker and they knew it would be checked so more kids did it.
