The Alpha Placement Instructions provide guidance for assessing a child's readiness for the Math-U-See program. Parents are advised to encourage their child during the assessment, focusing on identifying concepts that need review rather than achieving a perfect score. The results will help determine the appropriate starting level for the child, with options to remediate specific concepts if necessary.

Placement
Instructions

This assessment will help determine if this level of Math-U-Seeis a good place for your child to
start. Each level of Math-U-See builds upon the concepts taught in previous levels. Successful
placement involves finding the highest level your child has fully mastered and placing them one
level above that.

Prior to beginning the assessment:


• Understand that the goal isn’t to get all the questions correct. We are determining which
concepts they have not yet mastered.
• Encourage your child and let them know that this is an assessment and NOT a test.
• Recognizethey might already know some of the concepts taught in this level.
• Let your child know there may be questions they don’t yet understand.
• Print the assessment and ensure you have a pencil and eraser.
• Your child may want extra paper to work through the questions.

Let your child know while taking the assessment:


• If they don’t understand or can’t do a question have them move to the next one.
• If they want to attempt a question but are not sure they understand it, have them mark it
with a happy face.
• If they cannot answer 3 or more questions in a row, it is okay to stop doing the
assessment.

Grading the assessment:


• A question that your child has marked with a happy face indicates to you that this concept
is not completely understood and must be reviewed.
• For incorrect answers, ask your child how they arrived at their answer. If they understand
the concept, they should be able to correct the mistake on their own. This is considered a
computational error. For the sake of this assessmentdo not mark this as incorrect.
• If there are only one or two concepts they need to learn or review from a given level, it
may be possible to just remediate those and start in the next level higher.
