b. constructive
Sorry just found it A.functional
A functional is the correct answer
To determine the answer to the first question, we need to identify the type of play the child is engaged in when repeating the action of taking off his socks. There are four options: (a) functional, (b) constructive, (c) rule-based, and (d) dramatic.
(a) Functional play refers to using objects or actions with a purpose, such as playing with a toy car that moves or pretending to cook with toy pots and pans. It does not appear to be the case here, as taking off socks repeatedly may not have a clear purpose.
(b) Constructive play involves using objects to build or create, like stacking blocks or assembling puzzles. This does not seem to apply to the situation described.
(c) Rule-based play involves following established rules or guidelines, such as playing a board game or engaging in organized sports. Taking off socks repeatedly does not seem to fit this category.
(d) Dramatic play, also known as pretend or imaginative play, involves acting out and creating scenarios or roles, often with the use of props or costumes. This includes activities like playing house, pretending to be a doctor, or engaging in make-believe play. Based on the given information, it seems that the child is engaged in dramatic play by repeatedly taking off his socks.
For the second question, we need to determine which option is best suited for formative assessment of progress. The choices are (a) muscular strength and endurance, (b) body fat analysis, (c) flexibility, and (d) awareness of self and space.
Formative assessments are used to monitor student progress and provide feedback during the learning process. They help determine areas where students might need additional support or instruction.
Of the given options, (d) awareness of self and space would be the most appropriate for formative assessment. This term refers to a child's understanding of their own body and their ability to navigate and interact with the physical environment. Observing and assessing a child's awareness of self and space can provide valuable insights into their cognitive and physical development.
