In class, we took a quiz and collected data on the results. This is a really good way to drive instruction. For example, by using data collection we can see if the majority of students are getting a question right or wrong. If there is a question on a quiz that only 30% of the student answered correctly, we know what we have to reteach.
I personally will use data to drive my instruction. I believe that it's important to give lots of short, simple quizzes to students to constantly assess comprehension. I would use the results to see which concepts need to be retaught and which concepts the students already understand. This is crucial at all grade levels, but especially so at the elementary level.
