Degrees of Math Power (DMP)
THE PREEMINENT DIAGNOSTIC MATH ASSESSMENT SERIES
THE PREEMINENT DIAGNOSTIC MATH ASSESSMENT SERIES
The assessments of the Degrees of Math Power (DMP) are holistic measures designed to assess a student’s progression through one of 11 mathematical domains (i.e. Geometry, Statistics and Probability, Addition/Subtraction, Fractions, etc.). Each assessment is written with a sequence of questions that cover standards from several grade levels, ordered by grade level and level of difficulty.
Results place a student’s progress along a continuum which provide teachers with a measure of a child’s mathematical instructional level, regardless of current grade. These assessments can be used as pretests before a unit or to highlight students who might need extra remediation or acceleration in a given domain.
Other Math Assessment Options
These assessments are designed to assist teachers in understanding where gaps exist in foundational skills needed for success in the current grade. These assessments are available for grades 2 – 8, as well as Algebra and Geometry. Consisting of 30 multiple choice questions that cover 5 – 6 necessary foundational skills, these assessments are designed to be administered within one class period and can be used as an end of year screening for summer school intervention as well.
Made to correlate with either the Common Core or Next Generation math standards, these assessments are modeled after the NYS End of Year testing. There are assessments available for grades 3 – 8. Assessments include questions from all grade level standards, as well as post test standards from the prior grade. These assessments can be used to help prepare students for end of year testing or provide data that was missed when last year’s assessments were not given.
