Inky - what would we do w/out you???

I just happened across a site with quite a lot of MAP info - I haven't gone through it thoroughly, so I don't know whether anything will be particularly useful here, but for what it's worth:

And another helpful chart:

2008 95th Percentile Norms

From the link Bonusmom posted:

A student score at or above the following scores on a 6+ Mathematics Survey with Goals test
suggests student readiness for:
230 Introduction to Algebra
235 Algebra
245 Geometry

The chart gave median scores for grades 2-11. I wonder if the 6+ designation is significant or not.

I believe this info is posted in one of Inky's link but the presentation is different so I apologize for posting it again. You can download pdf for 2-5 and 6+. It gives you skills and concepts to enhance (1 level below RIT), to develop (at RIT) and introduce (1 level above RIT). While the 2-5 is similar to 6+ concepts, the 6+ is more in depth.

Dazey,

Since it is spring MAP testing time again.. I thought this thread could be revisited. One thing I found interesting.. someone (I dont recall who) had posted a link for what would be considered gifted scores. Those started in second grade. Is there anything for first grade?

Thanks
Sheila

Here's the link for the norms data and NWEA uses 95% as the gifted benchmark.

I found this...

So how do I know whether to give a student regular MAP Reading or Primary MAP Reading?
All students should take the test appropriate to their grade level. While in previous years, there were recommendations for students who were scoring extremely high or extremely low to take out of level tests, the MAP test packages were updated in Fall 2009 and now have increased ability to test students at the high and low ends of the RIT scale.
MAP Primary can accurately test students up to grade 7. 2-5 and 6+ tests can accurately test students in grades 1-12. The only difference between 2-5 and 6+ tests is that any reading passages on the 2-5 tests are limited to 100 words maximum.


Now i need to find out which test they are giving to dd.. according to this she should not be taking MAP primary at all this year. Might be too late now as I think spring MAP started today
