CENTER-BASED ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
Store
DESCRIPTION
Most center-based programs offer a variety of materials children can count (pens, erasers, etc.) that provide opportunities for team members to observe the children’s math skills. The Store assessment activity offers opportunities to observe children counting items, reciting numbers, reading and writing numerals, or demonstrating an understanding of the concept of subtraction. For example, a child could count out three pens, compare two sets of items, or write numerals.
SUGGESTED MATERIALS
- Pens
- Erasers
- Notebooks
- Paper tablets
- Rulers
- Other easy-to-count school items
SUGGESTED PROCEDURES
- A team member should explain the Store activity to the children in a way that will elicit the targeted test items, with children alternating the seller and buyer roles. The child who is the buyer could present a set of items to the seller, and the seller could count them out (or the buyer could prepare a written order of materials and present it to the seller).
- An adult could write an item’s price on paper and then ask the child to say the amount.
- The child could play the role of the one who prepares the order.
