Check-Ups

"Check-Ups" is a series of short assessments to cover some of the curriculum strands for early mathematics. Some of the main strands of a mathematics curriculum for younger children are: number, shape, measure and data.A record can be kept of a child's attainment in the form of a checklist (tick boxes), and, if necessary, follow-up work can be provided,based on a child's performance in the checklists.

Who is "Check-Ups" aimed at?

The intended audience for "Check-Ups" can be broken into two groups; the first is the group of students using this resource to have their knowledge of baseline maths concepts evaluated. My intended learning outcome for this group is that they will have the basic maths concepts that they have acquired, evaluated and consolidated by using my resource.
The second group of people who will visit my resource is teachers and parents or carers of this student group. My intention for this group is that, for each student who uses the resource, the adult requesting them to do so will have a checklist of mathematical concepts already acquired by the student, and information on those mathematical areas needing additional focused instruction.

All of the web pages have a navigation bar at the top. There are links to the six main sections of the web resource: index, parents, teachers, check-ups, links and downloads. The index, parents, teachers, links and downloads sections contain information on that particular topic, while the check-ups section contains links to the test pages. Some instructions on the tests are given on each test page, and there is a short animation showing how to complete a test on a separate help page. You can download a short user guide in Word or PDF format.
There are two games a student can play, while taking a rest between tests. At the end of a test the teacher can see the students score and also which choices were selected in each question.
