See page 1 of manual
Grade 1 2 minutes
Grade 2 2 minutes
Grade 3 3 minutes
Grade 4 3 minutes
Grade 5 5 minutes
Grade 6 6 minutes

11. Computation—Script See manual page 2
Complete directions the first time
Second half of directions for progress monitor and subsequent benchmarks
(Look for the paragraph “Now you’re ready to give the first test.”)

12. Computation—Test Copies
Blue book
Test 1 = Fall Benchmark
Test 2 = Winter Benchmark
Test 3 = Spring Benchmark
Tests 4-30 = Progress Monitoring

13. Computation—Answer Keys

Answers and point values

14. Computation—Scoring Rules
Points are awarded for the number of correct digits in the answer
Examples (3 points possible)
285
- 43
points
points

15. Computation—Scoring Rules (cont.)
Unnecessary Zeros
Not wrong, but no points awarded
Example
Student answer 03
Correct answer 3
1 point for the 3

16. Computation—Scoring Rules (cont.)
Division with remainders
Answer should be # R #
R is place holder, no points
Example 4 points
104R2
Same is true for the decimal point and the fraction bar
