For Chapter 3, you get to practice doing Running Records.
- Watch video of Coco and Dr Nicki doing an addition running record
- Print running record from Dr. Nicki’s site and record Coco’s thinking.
Here are some things that my teachers and I have done to tweak Dr. Nicki’s running record (I have edited it and shared it with her permission):
– added in the speed codes a-automatic, 5s- 5 secs, pth – prolonged thinking to be by themselves
– other codes are listed below but we only write them if it is obvious the child is doing it
– orally was added for my youngest kiddos who didn’t recognize the math with just seeing numbers – I would say “Let’s say I have 2 cookies and you gave me 1 more..how many do I have now?” just to separate those who could do that with those who couldn’t
– we added rubric scores at the bottom that are particular to the gradelevel to help with teachers’ report card grading – fluency grade is now a combination of the speed, accuracy, and flexibility score
– strategies listed at bottom – we circle the one that we deem is appropriate for the child to start working on
– back side added the words we are looking for like “next #” and then line to check off if the child couldn’t articulate the strategy
– back side, added N Emerg and Y so that assessors could circle and we could just look at that to see where students need to begin working
– changed the make 10 question to check for all make 10 pairs and put the questions in a purposeful order
– moved 10 + 4 to earlier in the assessment
– check all doubles facts for automaticity
– broke the decomposition to make 10 into plus 9’s first and then plus 7 & 8’s
-at bottom added some higher mental math in case the child aced the running record we could see if he/she would apply to larger numbers
There are no comments for this chapter as we will be discussing your Running Records in the next Chapter…
