Prueba de nivelación de matemáticas y evaluación de brechas

Outschool Learners should expect to spend the session in conversation about prior lessons and skills.  I may also ask the student to demonstrate their knowledge on the white board or provide additional instruction if appropriate.  

The purpose of this assessment is for parent and learner awareness; to know which math class will be a good fit.  During the past year, many learners have been in transition or asked to stay home (by no fault of their own).  With schools re-opening this year, many parents are requesting an evaluation/assessment to know where to place their students next year.  This assessment will give you and your learner confidence in knowing where your student is with math skills to make informed decisions going forward.

The gap analysis provides unique and useful information.  Math is different from other subjects such that concepts build upon one-another week over week and year over year.  When a student experiences a gap in learning, they can often “get by” for a short period of time until the gap begins to get larger.  Students experience gaps in their learning for many reasons.  

Gaps in math can remain hidden for years and inevitably show up around middle-school or high-school.   If a gap goes undetected for too long, the effects can be very serious.  The student eventually gets to a place where learning stops because they don’t “get it”.  The most devastating effect is a feeling of being incapable, or not being smart, which translates to a loss of student confidence.  The great news is that gaps are easily resolved once identified.    

After attending this session, each learner/parent will receive a written report within 72 hours.  The report will show gaps in learning (if any), recommendations for resolving those gaps, and current placement level.
