A question regarding grade 3,Math, AGLI 11104---
The AGLI states compare quantities using concrete objects..
The teacher submitted a worksheet that has pictures of objects such as a baseball or a frog. Would this be acceptable as evidence as is?
The student had counting objects available for the worksheet--- would reflecting this as a notation make the evidence acceptable?

Hi Christine,
Thank you for the question. Pictures of objects on a worksheet can be considered acceptable for this AGLI. The intent of the AGLI is to compare and that comparison is made using objects. A student is able to “visually” see a comparison set. If actual objects were used in addition to the pictures on the worksheet, it would be good for the teacher to include a notation explaining this. As outlined on page 16 of the Administration Manual “a notation should clarify for an outside person any information about the task, (i.e., how it took place, materials used, choices presented, etc.)…”. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
Kelly Ickes
