At the end Kindergarten, you can start giving running records just to see if students have fluency within 5. Here is a running record with my cousin, a few days after he finished kindergarten. He did really well. I stopped it at 10 but he could even figure that out. I stopped it because that is the next instructional level – facts within 10. When you give a running record, you are just looking for the instructional level… and then you stop. You do not have to give the whole test.
Happy Mathing,
