Which of the following statements best describes the role of assessment in teaching infants and toddlers?

assessment is not an appropriate activity for teaching infants and toddlers.

initial screenings with parents represent the full extent of assessment for infants and toddlers.

there is no reliable way to assess the cognitive development of infants and toddlers.

recording developmental milestones is an effective assessment method for infants and toddlers.

Recording developmental milestones is an effective assessment method for infants and toddlers.

Explanation:

Recording developmental milestones allows us to better assess infants and toddlers, and thus improve our teaching. For example, milestones such as learning to walk, learning to speak or learning to crawl can all tell us a lot about the developmental abilities of a baby or child. However, when assessing these markers, it is important to remember that all children are different, and that these results need to be interpreted and questioned before  being used to develop an educational program.

perimeter = 2l +2w, divide total perimeter by 2 for total length of 1 side and 1 width

172/2 = 86 (  total for 1 side and 1 width)

86-24 = 62 (since length is 24 ft longer subtract 24 then divide by 2 for width)

62/2 = 31

width = 31 feet

length = 31 +24 = 55 feet

check: 31*2 = 62, 55*2 = 110,  110+62 = 172
