MAPS Test Scores
Math MAPS test scores were sent home today in the report card.  Here are some numbers that will help you understand how your child did on the test.

Second Grade
Winter                     Spring
 
Meets Standard:             178                                   184
 
Exceeds Standard:         188                                   194
 
 
The report sent home shows some areas of math as strengths (the green ones) and some "areas of possible concern" (the yellow ones).  Take a close look at the range of scores they got in these areas.  Many times you will notice that the numbers are still "meeting" standard or even "exceeding" standard but are marked in yellow as areas of possible concern.  This just simply means that this was an area that your child scored lower in, not necessarily that there is a concern.
 
Any children who I am concerned about in math or that are working below grade level would be marked "below grade level" on the math section of their report card.  This MAPS test is just one more little snapshot of each student to see how they're progressing through second grade.
 
Please feel free to email me or chat about any questions or concerns you have about this or the report cards as well.
 
Have a great weekend!!
