This database enables the teacher to determine a student’s knowledge, analysis, and synthesis skills.

Structure
The Assessment Database is consistent in design, format, and structure for Grades 1 to 8. Each strand module begins with a table of contents detailing the Outcomes to be covered. A listed section number may be used to track the development of an Outcome from one grade to the next. Specific Curriculum Outcomes are identified at the top of each page.

Content
The modules consist of three types of questions/problems: Multiple-Choice, Short Snappers, and Higher Order. These questions can be assigned as either in-class or take-home assignments.

Multiple Choice:
Each module begins with a series of multiple-choice questions that test student knowledge of a given Outcome. These are single-step questions typically requiring one calculation

Short Snappers:
These are simplified problems that require one or two-step solutions that reflect the student’s analysis skills. These questions require a more thorough understanding of Outcomes.

High Order:
These are multi-step problems that test the student’s synthesis skills. Higher Order problems emphasize the necessity to plan steps in advance, and require both in depth knowledge and analysis. Each problem compels students to synthesize concepts from multiple Outcomes, and problems may apply to more than one strand.

All questions/problems are congruent to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards.
