01

What Students Need to Do

Students sort a small set of answers or objects into no more than three groups. They show the counts in a table, tally chart, picture graph, or object graph. They use the display to find group counts, totals, and how many more or fewer.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Given a list of responses, a student groups every item once and makes a clear display with labels and accurate counts. The student finds each group count, the total, and the difference between two groups.

Common Misconceptions

Students may count a picture twice, skip one, or place the same response in two groups. They may name the larger group when asked how many more, rather than finding the difference.

04

How to Assess It
