Get to the core of your students' understanding of math
Your wait is over: finally, easy-to-implement diagnostic tools to help you quickly and reliably identify your students' understanding of Common Core math concepts, then determine next steps to accelerate instruction. Completely aligned with the Common Core mathematics standards, Cheryl Tobey and Emily Fagan's 20 formative assessment probes will enable you to:
- Determine each child's prior knowledge of basic math and numeracy
- Identify common student misconceptions before they become long-term problems
- Make sound instructional decisions, targeted at specific concepts and responsive to specific needs
