Performance Assessment:

Materials:

• counters (dog- or bone-shaped if possible)
• dog number cards 5 –12 (M-K-1_Performance Assessment Materials.doc)
• ten-frames (M-K-1_Performance Assessment Materials.doc)
• doghouse story board (M-K-1_Performance Assessment Materials.doc)

 

Directions: Use the Assessment Recording Sheet to record students’ answers.

 

1. Ask students to pull a number card from a bowl/bag. The number represents how many dogs they have.

or

Give each student a number of dogs based upon the number you want to assess.

Write the number on the Assessment Recording Sheet.

2. Have students use counters to represent the number of dogs on a ten-frame.

Circle YES if the student correctly represents the number.

Circle NO if the student does not represent the number correctly.

3. Ask the student to count the counters on the ten-frame out loud.

Circle YES if the student correctly counts the number of counters.

Circle NO if the student does not count the number correctly.

4. Ask students to represent the number of dogs in another way. They can represent it differently on the ten-frame, take the counters off the ten-frame and group them, make two groups with the counters, etc.

Circle YES if the student correctly represents the number another way.

Circle NO if the student does not represent the number another way.

5. Animal Spill (see directions for Animal Spill in Lesson 3).                           

Give the student a story board and six to ten counters. Have students shake and spill the counters onto the story mat. Students look to see how many animals are on/off the picture. Have students tell you how the number is represented.                        

Example:                                                                                                                            Student verbally completes the phrase “____ and ____ is the same as ____.” 

Record the information. Use the Assessment Recording Sheet to record students’ performance (M-K-1_Performance Assessment Materials.doc).

6. Use your notes on the Assessment Recording Sheet and any other observations to assign a score using the Performance Assessment Scoring Rubric.
