Assignment Task: Richie can add and subtract single digit numbers with 90% accuracy. He can add double digit numbers with 50% accuracy, but he is unable to subtract double digit numbers that require regrouping. He can identify coins and small bills (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, one-, and five-dollar bills) but he cannot make change. Richie can estimate in problems using two- digit numbers.
Standard: The fourth-grade standard for math requires the following computations: Add, subtract, multiply (three-digit by two-digit factors), and divide (two-digit dividends by one-digit divisors) to solve problems.
Q1. Compare Richie's present levels to the expectations of the grade-level standard.
Q2. Where are there gaps between Richie's present level and the standard?
Q3. What skills does Richie need to move from his current performance level to the level of standard?
Q4. Do you think Richie would acquire those skills needed from question 3 in the general education setting or the EC setting and why?
Q5. What ideas do you have to close the gap this student has in his learning?
