Math Kit II Diagnostic Tests and Answer Keys

DTK9-12y: Math Kit II Diagnostic Tests and Answer Keys 

"Where should my child start? Math Kit I or Math Kit II? Will I have to do all the lessons in Math Kit II (Books 4, 5, and 6)? Which lessons - or even books - can I safely skip?"

These questions are answered by taking the diagnostic tests for 4th through 8th graders.

Many parents who purchased ShillerLearning Math started with these tests. Their children loved the approach and asked for more, which made the purchase decision risk-free.

Includes 12 tests + 12 prescriptive answer keys.

Included in Math Kit II and Math Kit II Digital.

Purchase price is fully refunded when purchasing K01-DL5-0408 or K02-DL5-0912 within 30 days of download. Otherwise, due to the nature of downloadable content, returns are not accepted on digital items.

Why ShillerLearning diagnostic testing?

We do not want to make assumptions about what a student knows or doesn't know, so we recommend that the educator start each student, regardless of age (up to 15 years old), at the first test from Book 1 (found in Math Kit I Diagnostic Tests) - or the first test from this pack - with the introduction, 'This should be really easy for you. Let's have some fun and see if you can get them all right.' Four tests for each math book (4, 5, and 6) are included in the diagnostic test download.

Check the answer key. If the student answers all the questions correctly, praise and move on to the next test. If a question is answered incorrectly, the answer key is prescriptive: it tells you exactly which lesson(s) will fill the hole identified by this question. You will see the list of lessons that teach the concept for that question right next to the question in parentheses. Best practice is to have the student do those activities before going to the next test (unless you are using the tests to decide between kit levels before purchasing).

When the student misses most of the questions on a test, stop testing. You have now identified exactly where he or she needs to be in the lesson book - and you have identified and filled all of the holes in his or her math foundation utilizing all four learning styles (visual, tactile, auditory, and kinesthetic).
