Math Assessment
Basic life skills include the ability to tell time, make change, balance a checkbook and do simple math facts quickly and
accurately, when you need to. Just because a child doesn't have their math facts memorized, yet, shouldn't necessarily be
cause for concern. However, children who are unable to subtract by borrowing correctly, for example, may be experiencing a
problem that needs to be examined a bit more closely.
A Hand In Hand math assessment will examine a variety of different skill areas important to learning, understanding and
successfully using math. Using the nationally recognized KeyMath 3 Diagnostic Assessment, we will evaluate:
- Basic Concepts
- Numeration
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Measurement
- Data Analysis and Probability
- Operations
- Mental Computation and Estimation
- Written Computation: Addition and Subtraction
- Written Computation: Multiplication and Division
- Application
- Foundations of Problem Solving
- Applied Problem Solving
Your Math Assessment fee includes the cost of test administration and a formal report, which includes
score charts for each test, an error analysis, and a discussion of your child's math strengths and weaknesses.
The report will make recommendations based on your child's math needs balanced by your family's
homeschool philosophy and your child's learning style. The test report is generally mailed out to parents within 10 days
of testing. Parents have the option of folloiwng up with a short telephone consultation for any additional
questions they may have
If you are thinking about hiring a math tutor for your child, consider a math assessment first. By sharing the comprehensive
test report with your tutor, you will be able to make the most of your time by focusing on diagnosed areas of weakness.
We keep in mind that most homeschool children have little or no experience with standardized testing. We maintain a maximum level
of test environment integrity while making the experience a comfortable one for the children. Our most important priority
is obtaining valid results that will help you, the parent, make the best homeschooling decisions possible;
while helping your child feel good about themselves.
As always, test results are kept completely confidential. Parents are the only ones to receive a complete score analysis of
their child's performance. It is left to a parent's discretion whether or not they share the results with their county or umbrella
reviewer.
Hand In Hand Homeschool Consultants have been fully trained in test administration and interpretation of results at Johns Hopkins University.
