# Learner checks · give on the named day

These are short ways to show your current thinking, not a race or a whole-year grade. Your teacher will give you **Check 1 after Day 15** and **Check 2 after Day 20**. You can show a model, drawing, chart location, numeral, spoken/sign/AAC explanation or a combination. Tell the teacher if someone moved the pieces for you or gave a mathematical hint.

## Check 1 · after Day 15

1. Make a model for **57**. Show the numeral and say or show the full tens and loose ones.
2. A fictional picture has **six groups of ten card icons and three extra icons**. What numeral names the total? Point to its place on the chart.
3. Put **69, 58, 60** in order from least to greatest. Show one reason using strips, chart positions or words.
4. Show **five tens and ten ones**. Trade the ten ones for a strip. What is the new model and numeral? Did the amount change?

**Pause before feedback.** Your teacher will save your first model and explanation, then help you check. A different practice example comes later if you need one.

## Check 2 · after Day 20

1. Make a model for **76** and show its numeral. Explain what the 7 and 6 stand for.
2. A fictional poster has **eight rows of ten shape icons and three extra icons**. How many icons are drawn? Show it without counting every icon from one.
3. Put **89, 81, 90** in order from least to greatest. Explain one comparison.
4. Show **eight tens and ten ones** before and after an exchange. Write or select the numeral and say what stayed equal.

**Optional personal reflection:** “I checked my answer by ___.” You can point to your model instead of writing a sentence. Your teacher will choose the next number task from your evidence.
