Hi! I was hoping that some of you might have good suggestions for Math assessments. I have been using the KeyMath-R and the WIAT math subtests, but I’m finding that since the inception of all the new math standards, these tests don’t really measure their present skills all that well. For instance, a student may come out on grade level with average standard scores, but be failing in their classrooms due to the fact that skills previously taught in upper grades are being introduced and taught in earlier grades. Also, more and more reading is being required.
A few years ago our LD kids found math to be an area where they could excel, but this is no longer the case. However, the typical standardized tests don’t reflect their new, additional deficits.
