MATH 5 PLACEMENT TEST
Placement Test Instructions
This placement test can help you determine whether your child is ready for the Math 5 Teaching Textbook. The test is not perfect, so in making any final placement decision also use common sense.
The student should work independently without the use of a calculator. It is not necessary to time the test, but most students will finish in less than 1 12 hours.
Scoring
The test is divided into two sections. Section 1 includes problems 1 – 15. This is the simpler part of the test, covering whole numbers. Section 2 includes problems 15 – 30. It is the more difficult part of the test, covering fractions and decimals.
The student is probably ready for Math 5 if he/she makes the following scores on the two sections.
10 or more correct on Section 1 (problems 1 – 15)
and 8 or more correct on Section 2 (problems 16 – 30),
If the student’s score falls below this level, our new Math 4 Teaching Textbook (which is coming out in December of 2008) is probably a better starting point.
