This assessment is an individual interview assessment checking on students’ rote counting skills to 120 (counting from 1-120 and counting up from any given number).

In this assessment task students will be assessed on rote counting. They will count forward to120 starting from 1 or from any number the teacher chooses with accuracy. An assessment task sheet and rubric are provided.

Similar to Duck, Duck, Goose this game reinforces counting forward from a given number. The game begins with students seated in a circle. The teacher selects a number sequence to practice and begins counting aloud at the start of the counting sequence and walking around the circle. The teacher taps a student on the head and sits in the student's place, the student gets up and continues counting where the teacher left off. The game continues until the teacher calls out a new counting sequence or the counting sequence ends.

This is lesson two in a series of six lessons focused around developing a mathematical community at the beginning of the school year. While this lesson addresses standard NC.1.NBT.7, its primary goal is for students to learn how to work with classmates on activities related to counting and number sense and engage in real-world math situations.

This packet contains exit tickets for standards NBT.1 and NBT.7. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the beginning of the school year, it may be necessary to display a blank copy of the exit ticket on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.
