Grade 7 Math – AGLI 12107 – Add and/or subtract one or two
digit whole numbers
Is it acceptable for the student to use a Touch Math
worksheet to solve the the addition and/or subtraction problems?
RESPONSE: In this case, it would
be fine to use a Touch Math worksheet with AGLI 12107 because the student needs
to figure out the number and the amount it represents, then add the two
together. Many times they count to get the value but they still need to know
what each represents and put them together. A notation indicating that the
student counted each number individually and then added the two numbers together
to obtain the sum would be a good notation to add to the verifying evidence,
since this AGLI doesn’t specifically have “use of a strategy” with it. Also, for
assessment purposes the teacher could make up a worksheet for the student
without the touch math dots and circles and see if the student can add without
it.
