Hands-On Equations Pre and Post-Tests for Level I

Complete instructions for administering pre- and post-tests for Level I are now available online. These instructions include a Summary Form for the teacher to record student scores and compare class results on each test, as well as class performance on each question.

On the pre-test, especially with students in grades 3 - 5, the scores are expected to be very low since these concepts and examples are not normally presented at these grades. The teacher should not be too surprised by low pre-test scores. If the teacher has gone through the training and implements the program as designed, he/she will see significant gains on the Lesson #6 post-test. This improvement is expected to be maintained as the students move away from using the game pieces to the pictorial notation in Lesson #7.
