MATH PRE-ASSESSMENT BASELINE

STUDENT: Alonah Smith
GRADE: 7th Grade
DATE: November 23,2019
ASSESSOR: Mrs. P Denise Smith (Tutor)

ABOUT THIS ASSESSMENT
Alonah took the diagnostic Math Test November 2019. This diagnostic tests knowledge of grades 6-7
math concepts, ability to determine when and how to apply those concepts, as well as how to accurately
calculate solutions. She also answered separate math questions which tested her knowledge of 4th and
5th grade math concepts. Her answers give insight to the Math success rate of her current grade level.

WHAT DOES THIS RESULTS MEAN?
• How Alonah Smith compares to other 7th graders at the end of the year
• How well Alonah Smith understands previous grade level Math concepts
• How well Alonah Smith applies previous grade level Math to understand current grade level
Math
• How well Jameeyah Nelson can solve Math problems at his current grade level

ALONAH SMITH PERFORMANCE ON THE 7th GRADE MATH DIAGNOSTIC
Performance Level

Students who perform at Level 1
show EXTREMELY LITTLE
UNDERSTANDING of the
expectations of their grade. They are
likely to need lots of support to meet
the Math expectations for their grade
level

Alonah is proficient in basic concepts (adding, subtracting, and multiplying)
whole numbers. applications and calculations for grades 1-5. Alonah struggles
with grades 6 and 7 math concepts due to lack of understanding of principles
beyond basic whole numbers as well as lack of understanding how to
incorporate building basic skills into the next level. This is impacting her ability
to perform at a proficient level beyond grade 4 or 5. Alonah understood and
correctly answered 1.5 out 22 problems correctly. She remembered seeing
some of the information while not remembered seeing others at all.

Answered correctly --Problems 8 (partial did not simplify) and 49

35. Never seen before
43. Didn’t know how to do
44. Didn’t know how to do
46. Didn’t know how to – it didn’t make sense to her
47. Didn’t know how to do
50. Calculated incorrectly
51. Didn’t know how to do
52. Didn’t know how to do
53. Didn’t know what it meant
55. Didn’t know what it meant
57. Never seen before
58. Never seen before
63. Seen before but don’t know
66. Remember hearing about perimeter but don’t know area
71 -75 Didn’t know

The Areas of Opportunity which are impacting her most are
o 4th – 6th Grade Numbers and Operations Fractions (4.NF)
o 4th Grade Measurement and Data (4.MD) Perimeter and Area
o 5th Grade Operations and Algebraic Thinking (5.OA) Order of Operation
o 5th- 6th Grade Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide Decimal (5.NBT)
o 6th Grade Ratios and Proportions (6.RP)
o 6th Grade Expressions and Equations (6.EE)
o 6th Grade Statistics (6.SP)

NEXT STEPS
• Needs to practice using calculator for all math operations including
division (excluding fractions)
• Needs to learn concept, application, and calculation for a fractions with
unlike denominators
• Needs to concept, application and calculation for decimals
• Need to learn Order of Operation
• Needs to learn Grade 6 Ratios, Expressions, One-Step Equations, Area, and
Perimeter ( how to set up and calculate)
• Practice two Grade 6 concepts 15 minutes daily
