The Nelson Numeracy Assessment Kit is a comprehensive numeracy assessment resource for the first seven years of school. It enables teachers to assess individual students, groups of students and/or the whole class. After assessing what students already know and what skills need to be developed, the data recorded can be used for future planning and assists teachers to effectively group students according to their learning needs.
At each level, the Nelson Numeracy Assessment Kit provides assessment tasks for the four major mathematical strands: number and patterns, space, measurement and chance and data.
Each year level section includes
- a Teacher's Guide
- a Picture Assessment Book
- number cards, a place-value chart and extra copies of the Picture Assessment Book spreads
- all the manipulative materials required to assess students
- interactive software that allows teachers to create individual and class assessment profiles and plan ongoing teaching and assessment.
