Based on the assessment data, which scenario best demonstrates progress monitoring and adjustment for counting by 2s?

• A. Switch to counting by 5s.
• B. Only use worksheets to practice counting.
• C. Continue to include counting by 2s in the daily math warm up section with visual supports as long as needed.
• D. Remove counting by 2s from the daily routine.

Answer: (C)

Progress monitoring and adjusting instruction based on assessment data means using what you learn from quick checks to shape what happens next in the classroom. Continuing to include counting by 2s in the daily warm-up with visual supports as long as needed shows you’re tracking the learner’s current ability and providing supports until mastery is reached, while keeping the target within the day-to-day routine so you can keep collecting data and respond as needed. This approach keeps practice frequent, supports appropriate until the student can do it independently, and allows gradual removal of supports as competence grows. Switching to counting by 5s shifts the goal away from the skill being measured and isn’t a data-driven adjustment for this target. Relying only on worksheets doesn’t offer ongoing monitoring or responsive changes, and removing counting by 2s eliminates practice the student still needs. The best choice embodies using data to guide instruction and maintain supports until mastery is achieved.
