AssessYourChildForFreePart2

I've just added this post to ThingsWeHaveLearned:


David Klein developed these Practice Problems for the California Mathematics Standards Grades 1-8 for the Los Angeles County Board of Education.

For me, these problem sets are precious. That is none too strong a word.


And here's Carolyn, in an email to David:

It's wonderful that you put together those assessment questions. Those practice problems are golden. One of the most difficult things for a parent to do is to get a solid idea of what kids ought to know -- what it means for them to be on track. CA's state standards are good, but too dense. There could be nothing more succinct than a set of problems that the kids must know how to do, year by year. Kitchen.Catherine and I want to post links to them front and center, and to continually refer parents to them (because, of course, repetition is key :)).


"Golden" is right. A consultation with an educational psychologist can run into the thousands of dollars.

If you suspect that your child has specific learning problems, wrangling a consult from your school may be a very good idea.

But if your question is simply: where does my child's math achievement stand today? then these grade-by-grade problem sets are all you need (I think) to find your answer.

At least, they've worked for me and Christopher.
