Assessment+Process

After determining the students to be a part of the target group, an assessment is given to these students. The assessment is using the addition & subtraction tasks from SENA 1. The assessment can be administered during class activities.

You will need to pay attention to how the student solves the EAS tasks. Each stage subsumes the previous stage. That is, a child classified as being at the Counting-on-and-back stage can also solve problems through counting perceived items. **The focus of the decision is on the most advanced strategy that the child can demonstrate**. Competent adults still engage in perceptual counting even when they are able to use numbers flexibly. Being able to see the student's fingers as he or she works out the problem can sometimes help to determine how the answer was obtained.
