Diagnostic Mathematical Profiles

Diagnostic Mathematical Profiles has been to help teachers, professionals, and parents assess primary school student performance on specific mathematical topics. The book offers a first step assessment of individual topics to help teachers fit children into the current classroom curriculum—whether at the beginning of the year, or topic, or with individual children who arrive at a school during the year. This resource focuses on one topic at a time, across all primary school grades, allowing educators and parents to teach a topic in a diagnostic way that matches each student's entry-level of understanding in that topic.
