St. Patrick's Day Counting Collections

We are...assessing, assessing, assessing this week!  But, I decided to add a little IRISH twist to today's assessment so we could still celebrate.

We do Counting Collections once a week to practice on counting to 120, skip counting and grouping objects by 10's.  I decided to reassess my kids and see how well they could do this on their own today. {Normally, they do counting collections with a partner!}  Each firstie got a pot o' gold {with around 120 pieces of cut, 1x1 yellow squares.}

As is our normal procedure during Counting Collections, my kids counted how many pieces of gold they had in their pot {just on their own!}.  They can count however they choose, whichever way they understand best, and whichever way is the most efficient way for them to count with *precision.*
Most of them grouped by 10's and counted.


A few grouped by 5's.

One boy grouped by 20's.

This little sweetie counted by 2's inside of his groups of 10!

Some counted by 1's.

You could hear a pin drop in my room.  Those babies were so intent on counting to see how "rich" they were!  Who knew assessment could be so fun!!
