Arithmetic

defined as what knowledge the student has gained from her previous education the student was tested on the three basic subjects Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. The student is below grade level in most of these areas.

She also had an easy time with the reading comprehension questions, but when she made a mistake during the reading and read plant instead of paint the evaluator asked her “can you plant a boat?” to which she replied “yes.” She wasn’t really grasping the concept instead she was just answering information that was straight out of the text. In a different passage, she was asked “who was home?” and she answered, “the man and his parrot.” She did not realize the parrot isn’t part of the answer because it is not a human being.

Arithmetic- Fraidy has acquired some basic mathematical skills. She knows addition and subtraction of one digit numbers fluently she can also do some…

However, the novel and the book have differences also. Hashanah finally wakes up. When she wakes up she…

the students are able to view each number in a different way while “keeping track”(p.5). The article gives many examples of ways teachers can apply the conceptual subitizing method to the classroom with activities and games the students will enjoy. My take away, for my future classroom is the ten-frame activity. Ten frames can be use in the classroom to visualize addition combinations. This activity will also “assist students with mental handicaps and learning disabilities as they learn to…
