You are assessing a 12 month old. What would you expect to see for GM skills?
What is Using a roll from supine to get into sitting Walking I or cruising with one hand in all directions and from piece of furniture I Proficient crawling

How should a 1 year old get into sitting A. Prone to 4 pt to sit B. Prone to rolling to sit C. Supine to 4 pt to sit D. Supine to rolling to sit
What is D 12-24 months: supine roll to sit. 10-12 months: Supine to 4pt to sit 0-10 months: prone to sit

You design an obstacle course for a classroom of 4 year olds at recess. What activities would be best for the "just right challenge" A. Hopscoth, climbing up/down stairs, jumping over a jumprope line B. Jumping over a jumprope line, hopscotch, hopping on one foot C. Climbing up and down the equipment, jumping over a jumprope line, being horsies through the field D. Jumping over a "boulder", being horses through the field, and hopscotch.
What is C Jumping over something is 3.5-5. A jumprope line might be easier than a large "boulder" and this skill emerges from 3.5 to 5 (this presents a challenge between the skill of jumping off with 2 feet at 3 and jumping over things by 5), Galloping is by 4 & they can climb up and down stairs with alternating feet so should be able to get onto and off the equipment on the playground. Hopscotch is from 5-6.

I am able to lift my head against gravity, bounce in standing and roll segmentally in all directions with R/L LE differentiation. A. 6 mo B. 5 mo C. 4 mo D. 8 mo
What is B 5 mo

You are assessing a 8 month old. What gross motor skills should you see?
What is - Tries different sitting positions (W&side) - Sits with narrow BOS - army crawl - Cruises along furniture sideways with two hands
400
You pull a child to sit. They are 5 months. What should you expect to see if they are not developmentally delayed. A. No head lag, sits independently once placed B. No head lag, sits when propped on arms C. Head lag, needs support to sit D. Head lag, once up sits with minimal supports
What is B. Head lag should disappear by 5 months, and they can sit when propped at this age.
400
What GM skills should a 2 year old demonstrate? A. Jumps off steps, climbs up/down with railing, Runs B. Jumps off steps, Climbs up/down without railing, Runs C. Runs, Climbs with railing, starts/stops in walking D. Runs, Climbs without railing, starts/stops in walking
What is C by 24 mo: run, climb with railing, start/stop in walking (15mo) Climb without railing: by 2.5 Jumps off steps: by 2.5

A classroom teacher comes up to you on recess duty concerned that most of her class can jump with two feet and some can hop on one foot, but when they did sack racing with the elementary school during fall fun day, they had to stop the games for safety, since everyone was veering into each other. What do you tell her? A. She should be concerned as this skill should already have emerged for most and she should encourage more balance & agility activities in the classroom. B. She should be concerned as this skill should already have emerged for most and you recommend doing a screening of her class for GM delays. C. A. She should not be concerned as jumping in a straight line typically occurs by 5. You recommend that instead of sack racing next year she should have children jump over small objects, such as jump-ropes and compete in who can jump on one foot the farthest. D. A. She should not be concerned as jumping in a straight line typically occurs by 5. You recommend that instead of sack racing next year she should have children compete in skipping as this is most developmentally appropriate.
What is C Hopping in straight line is not certain until 5 years. Her children represent skills at the 3-3.5 year range. Skipping is not appropriate as this skills emerges from 5-6. The next skills to emerge and she should encourage practice of is jumping on one foot and jumping over things.
