Using The Fitness Assessment To Learn About Comparing and Describing

Today we began our 3rd nine weeks fitness assessment. We will get the student's height, weight, max push ups and sit ups, shuttle run time and either mile or half mile run time. We will compare these numbers to the first 2 fitness assessments that we have done this year. We are looking to see if the numbers are going up, down or staying the same. We can also compare these numbers to the president's council on physical fitness numbers. We are taking this assessment as a snapshot of the student's fitness level. This is our way of describing the fitness level of the student on this day. The repetition number and the stopwatch do not lie.
