Activity Details

The teacher will give each student a copy of the Putting it Together formative assessment. The teacher will read each problem and tell the students to use pictures, numbers, or words to solve the problems. The students will use strategies learned to solve the problems. After the students have had sufficient time to think about and draw their answers, the teacher will allow students to share their work and record student responses on a whiteboard or chart paper.

Assessment Strategies

Teachers will observe student responses to determine student understanding of the concept and skill. You can use the following guidelines to ensure students meet the learning objective.

Check that the student:

can use a strategy to add up to ten.
can use a strategy to count back from ten.
can count on, rather than counting each object.
can use pictures, numbers, or words to explain their thinking.

Variation Tips

The teacher may allow students to use counters, bears, or other manipulatives to assist with this task.
