ASSESSMENTS

Want to get an idea of where your student is in terms of math skills?  Have him or her take one of the following assessments.  

I would suggest having students start with an EOG practice test from their previous grade level (Ex: a current 5th grader would work on the 4th grade practice test).  If your student aces it, have him or her work on the test for their current level.  If not, reach out to me and we'll come up with a plan to get him or her back on track.

Important: be sure to always PRINT OUT these and any other exercises, rather than having them work from a screen.

Purchase these excellent MATH & LOGIC PUZZLE magazines from Penny Dell Press. I'm also a fan of their Variety Puzzles, which include word problems, as well.  Both can be found at your local grocery or book store.
