Proficiency Level	Observable Student Behaviors	Target Competencies	Actionable Remediation / Next Steps
Emerging (<60% Score)	Counts dots one-by-one by touching screen/paper; hesitates on dice patterns 4 and 5; confuses zero with other single digits.	Perceptual Subitizing (1–3) 1-to-1 Correspondence	Revert to tactile concrete counters and finger games. Practice "Flash & Shout" with real dice for 5 mins daily.
Developing (60%–84% Score)	Subitizes 1–4 instantly but counts 5; fills ten-frames accurately with guidance; completes number bonds with concrete finger assist.	Conceptual Subitizing (5–10) Number Bonds to 5	Provide 2 more ten-frame coloring sheets. Reinforce "5 is a whole top row" to build automatic anchor intuition.
Mastery (85%–100% Score)	Instantly recognizes quantities 1–5 without counting; understands zero as empty quantity; completes number bonds effortlessly.	Cardinality & Quantity 0–10 Part-Part-Whole Intuition	Graduate to Math Level 2: Teen Numbers (11–20), Double Ten-Frames, and Number Bonds up to 20!

🚀 Next Learning Horizon: Math Level 2 — Teen Numbers & Double Ten-Frames

In Level 2, the child discovers that teen numbers (11–19) are simply "10 and some more." They transition to double ten-frames, number bonds up to 20, and skip-counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s on the number line.
