Abstract | Teachers assess children's learning to understand how to make their instruction more effective. Early childhood assessment must take into account the typically uneven development of children and their cultural contexts. The author assessed what a group of four-year-olds knew about measurement as she talked about how much water had filled a rain gauge. An understanding of measurement develops in early childhood with experience. Being able to understand a "one to one" correspondence is a skill teachers hope children will develop before kindergarten. To teach these skills, teachers must assess how much the students already know. This article presents an activity which allowed the author to assess what the children understand about measurement.
