CHILD ONE: In order to complete my application assignment, I received help from Cassandra. Cassandra is: 4 years old, a female, and has not started school. Cassandra’s first language is Spanish. She has not had a nap. Cassandra is my cousin. I administered the activity on Monday around 5pm. Cassandra and I were sitting at her dining table.

I presented a list that included five different grocery items (milk, eggs, bread, orange juice, strawberries). I then asked Cassie, “what can you do to learn and remember the items of groceries on the list?” Cassie responded with, “maybe a list.” I then stated, “what if we didn’t have paper or pens, how would we remember these five items?” Cassie responded with, “by creating a song.” I then asked Cassie to create a song that included the five grocery items. I gave Cassie as much time as she needed in order to create a song. When she was ready she sang, “I went shopping with mommy, we bought milk and bread - because daddy likes milk and bread. We bought eggs and orange juice - because mommy likes eggs and orange juice. And had to buy strawberries, because everyone likes strawberries!” I complemented Cassie on her song, and she began to laugh. After I stated, “Now can you tell me the five different grocery items aloud.” She nodded her head and began saying, “milk, bread, eggs, orange juice, and strawberries.” After she answered correctly I stated, “that was awesome! Now, can you tell me how you remembered all five different grocery items?” Cassie smiled and stated, “well I sang the song in my head, as first I almost said milk twice but I remembered we only need one.” I smiled and said, “you did awesome! Thank you for sharing your strategy with me.” After I presented five real items (an apple, orange, water bottle, mango, banana). I then asked Cassie, “what can you do to learn and remember the items of groceries on the list? Feel free to touch the items and move them around.” After Cassie was done touching the items, I removed the items and put them under the table (away from cassie’s vision). After I removed all the items from the table I asked Cassie, “Do you remember all five items that you just touched?” Cassie responded with, “apple and banana, orange and mango, and then the water bottle.” I replied with, “that was really good! I then stated, “now like before, can you tell me how you remembered all five different grocery items.” Cassie responded with, “well i remembered the apple and orange because we have those all the time. The orange and mango because those are my favorite fruits. And the water bottle because it’s hot and I want to go swimming.” After I presented a list of five different grocery items (orange, apple, gatorade bottle, a lime, pear). I then explained that her previous methods were awesome, but then explain how we can also use a verbal rehearsal strategy to remember the items. I explained that rehearsal strategy is when you can revisit the items as much as possible. Whether that is remembering it, or visualizing the items. I also explained that, her previous strategy is considered a rehearsal strategy (creating a song). I then stated, “Now, you can demonstrate a rehearsal strategy by visualizing the

I then asked Frank “what can you do to learn and remember the items?” Frank responded with, “I can memorize them.” I gave Cassie as much time as she needed in order to memorize the five items. When he was ready he stared, “black pen, blue pen, pencil, eraser, and paper.” After I stated, “Now can you tell me how you remembered the five different school items?” He nodded his head and began saying, “I remembered black pen and blue pen, because there both pens but different colors. Pencil and paper, because I need a pencil in order to write on the paper. And an eraser, just in case I make a mistake.” I smiled and said, “you did awesome!” Frank was using the chunking strategy. Frank was able to group the black and blue pens together, the pencil and paper and the eraser. He broke the five items and created two units. This helped him recall the five

    Rounding Data When data is gathered and calculated, the final information presented tends to be rounded. On some occasions it may be necessary to round data, especially when rounding non-integer vales to integer values for simplicity and statistical representation. An example of this would be at the end of the calculations in sample weighting, the fractions you get are rounded to integers, since the data is based on physical objects which cannot have fractions, and so is considered extra for rounding purposes. Data may also me rounded in order for it to be understandable if the information is to be presented to other people, or just to keep important digits only to get an idea of scale. Extreme examples of this would be comparing the size of…
