Mathematical Processes Target Children

Mathematical processes- Target child is proficient in this skill set. Z is beginning to make sense of problems and uses simple strategies to solve them. For example, Z was playing with manipulatives. When prompted, Z was able to dispense al of his given manipulatives into an even number of groups. Z also reasons quantitatively and begins to use some tools. I prompted Z with manipulatives and asked him, “If I had 4 bananas, but a hungry bear ate two of my bananas, how many bananas do I have left?” Z was able to solve the subtraction problem by counting the manipulatives left. Z also uses words and representations to describe mathematical ideas. Z often draws pictures, and will tell you the quantity of objects displayed in the picture. In addition,
