Reading Assesment Tools
CHere are some great resources to help you add variety to your assessment techniques. Assessment Standard C of the National Science Education Standards implies a need for multiple forms of assessment and recommends the following: (a)The feature that is claimed to be measured is actually measured, (b) Assessment tasks are authentic, (c) An individual student’s performance is similar on two or more tasks that claim to measure the same aspect of student achievement, (d) Students have adequate opportunity to demonstrate their achievements, and (e) Assessment tasks and methods of presenting them provide data that are sufficiently stable to lead to the same decisions if used at different timeslick here to add text.

It is best to assess children individually and frequently throughout the year. Explicit systematic instruction can then take place in small groups according to student need Click "HERE"t.

Math Assessments

Grade One Assessment
By the end of grade one, students learn  to understand and use the concept of ones and tens in the place  value number system. Students add andsubtract small numbers with ease. They  measure with simple units and locateobjects in space. They describe data and  analyze and solve simple problems

Grade 2 Assessment
By the end of grade two, students  understand place value and numberrelationships in addition and  subtraction and they use simple concepts  ofmultiplication. They measure quantities  with appropriate units. They classify  shapesand see relationships among them by  paying attention to theirgeometric  attributes.They collect and analyze data and verify  the answers

Grade 3 Assessment
By the end of grade three, students  deepen their understanding of placevalue and their understanding of and  skill with addition, subtraction,  multiplication,and division of whole numbers. Students  estimate, measure, and describe objectsin space. They use patterns to help  solve problems. Theyrepresent numberrelationships and conduct simple  probability experiments

Grade 4 Assessment
By the end of grade four, students  understand large numbers and addition,subtraction, multiplication, and  division of whole numbers. They describe  andcompare simple fractions and decimals.  They understand the properties of, andthe relationships between, plane  geometric figures. They collect,  represent, and
analyze data to answer questions

Grade 5 Assessment
By the end of grade five, students  increase their facility with the fourbasic arithmetic operations applied to  fractions, decimals, and positive and
negative numbers. They know and use  common measuring units to determinelength and area and know and use  formulas to determine the volume of  simplegeometric figures. Students know the  concept of angle measurement and use aprotractor and compass to solve problems. They use grids, tables,  graphs, and
charts to record and analyze data

Grade 6 Assessment
By the end of grade six, students have  mastered the four arithmeticoperations with whole numbers, positive  fractions, positive decimals, and  positive
and negative integers; they accurately  compute and solve problems. They applytheir knowledge to statistics and  probability. Students understand the  concepts
of mean, median, and mode of data sets  and how to calculate the range. Theyanalyze data and sampling processes for  possible bias and misleading conclusions
they use addition and multiplication of  fractions routinely to calculate theprobabilities for compound events.  Students conceptually understand and  work
with ratios and proportions; they  compute percentages (e.g., tax, tips,  andinterest). Students know about p and the  formulas for the circumference and
area of a circle. They use letters for  numbers in formulas involving geometricshapes and in ratios to represent an  unknown part of an expression. They  solve
one-step linear equations


Grade 7 Assessment

By the end of grade seven, students are  adept at manipulating numbers andequations and understand the general  principles at work. Students understand  and
use factoring of numerators and  denominators and properties of  exponents. Theyknow the Pythagorean theorem and solve  problems in which they compute the
length of an unknown side. Students know  how to compute the surface area andvolume of basic three-dimensional  objects and understand how area and  volumechange with a change in scale. Students  make conversions between different units
of measurement. They know and use  different representations of fractionalnumbers (fractions, decimals, and  percents) and are proficient at changing  from
one to another. They increase their  facility with ratio and proportion,  computepercents of increase and decrease, and  compute simple and compound interest.
They graph linear functions and  understand the idea of slope and its  relation toratio.
