[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]re you saying that you believe some 1st graders are simply too slow, unintelligent, unsophisticated, to be able to answer the question 7 + _____ = 10? [/quote] When you get first graders who do not understand one to one correspondence at the beginning of the year, it is an achievement to have them learn that 7+3=10. That should be the goal.[/quote] That would be my goal for them as well, but you need to be honest. Those children are NOT on grade level. They didn't start K on grade level. They started below grade level. You don't change the standards expected by the end of 1st grade, just because the kids started out behind. BE HONEST. Kids who enter grade K with no one to one correspondence are behind wher ethey should be. They should qualify for all sorts of extra help and tutoring, as soon as possible, to help them meet the standard.[/quote]
