Math Mastery Assessment
SuccessMaker Math follows the basic philosophy of a probability-based assessment (the likelihood that the student will get the next question correct). If this likelihood is higher than a certain threshold value, then the student is judged to have Mastered the objective. When assessing mastery, the formula explicitly weighs the following factors:
-
Pattern of correct/incorrect answers giving the greatest weight to the most recent responses
-
Likelihood of a lucky guess
-
Difficulty of the exercise
-
Significance of the exercise (the degree of relatedness to a terminal objective)
Math Targeted Lessons
When the online program identifies students needing additional instructional support with a concept, SuccessMaker Math automatically suggests small groups and provides point-of-use targeted lessons in English and Spanish. These lessons can be used with the whole-class, small group, or one-on-one to provide intervention, add enrichment, or for additional practice. Targeted Print Lessons are available digitally or for purchase in print. The Teacher Resource Guide provides point-of-use teaching strategies to support teachers in delivering targeted small group instruction.
