To assess the child on number operations, a teacher frames a question paper at the end of the lesson with multiple choice questions only. Another teacher divides the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. The teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio.

You can't assess your learners holistically with the help of multiple choice questions. Learners use their guessing ability for answering these type of questions. Subjective questions are more suitable .Learners have to use their thinking, reasoning abilities ,during answering questions.
