ILTS 206 Early childhood test math Questions
with 100% Correct Answers
Verbal Representation
word problems and verbal descriptions of how to solve a problem or what the solution means
"We know that Sam gets $10 each week for allowance, so let's make that a constant. And we
know that Sam wants to save $150 to buy a new bicycle, so that's a constant, too. But, what
we don't know is how long does Sam need to save - let's make that X. So the equation is 10x
= 150."
Subitizing
Recognizing how many without counting
Carl glanced at 4 pennies on the table and knew there were 4 without having to count each
one.
Conservation of Numbers
An understanding that the number of objects remains the same even when rearranged
Basic Operations
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Math in early elementary school grades focuses on basic operations.
Summative Assessments
Assessment of learning. Given at specific points in time in order to determine what students
know and don't know. Summative assessments are generally formal.
State assessments, district benchmarks, semester or six weeks tests, and end of unit or chapter
Backward Design / Planning
, Lesson planning that begins with the desired outcome in mind
Symbolic Representation
A model using symbols or variables to display a mathematical concept.
Formula
Bar Graph
a visual representation of data which compares values in different categories
the number of people who prefer each genre of movie
Formal Measurement
ses traditional measurement tools to find value
ruler for length
Seriation
Putting objects in size order
Order a set of measuring spoons from smallest to largest
Natural Numbers
The set of counting numbers starting at 1 and increasing by 1s up to infinity. Sometimes
called "counting numbers"
1, 2, 3, ...
Fraction Decomposition
Breaking down a fraction into smaller fractions that total to the original
Fraction Composition
