[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point of the math iready test - my daughter got a bad score in the beginning of the fall (which is fine) but she told me that it was on multiplication and geometry that she had never seen before. She is in 3rd grade. Why do the do the test on content they haven’t leaned yet? [/quote] It's to test growth. It isn't graded.[/quote] It's an adaptive screener--she might have by luck got a question correct and then got harder problems that she got wrong and then it adapted back down. Some kids can do more advanced mathematics beyond what has been taught so it's also important for the screener to catch that too--otherwise they will never show growth and won't be taught an appropriate level for them. The SOLs are the test that looks at content taught. But the iready is a screener and helps the teacher see what they know and don't know. [/quote]
