Numeracy Accuracy & Fluency Assessment: Guidelines for Administration

Purpose To assess the accuracy and fluency of children’s basic numeracy skills and the pre-requisite skills for balancing equations.

Administration All assessment probes are administered for one minute. It is useful to have two copies of the probe (one for the adult and one for the child). Record the number of correct responses and the number of errors and record on the Numeracy Record Sheet.

Aim Rates It is very difficult to give specific aim rates (or proficiency levels) for most arithmetic tasks as there are considerable variations in the fluency with which pupils can write. The suggested rates are based on experience rather than experimentation and are intended as guidelines only.

Probe Skill assessed Guidelines

C1 Count by rote to 10

Record how many times a child can count to 10 in a minute.

C2 Rational counting 0-10 (one group)

Ask the child to count how many lines there are in each box C3 Rational counting 0-10 (two

groups)

N1 Naming numerals 0-10 (random order)

Ask the child to name the numerals

N2 Writing numerals 0-10 (random order)

Say the numerals and ask the child to write them


Ask the child to name the numerals


Say the numerals and ask the child to write them

C4 Counting on 0-9 Ask the child to identify which number comes next

C5 Counting back 1-10 Ask the child to identify the number that comes before

C6 Drawing lines to correspond with given numeral

Say the number and ask the child to write that number of lines in each box (use the numbers from C7)

C7 Writing numeral to Ask the child to count the lines in each box

correspond with given group of lines

and write the number

E1 Equation reading

Ask the child to read the equation e.g. ‘three plus two equals’

E2

Equation Writing Say the equation from E1 and ask the child to write them

E3 Equivalence (stating whether 2 groups are ‘equal’ or ‘not equal’)

Ask the child to say whether the equations are ‘equal’ or ‘not ‘equal’

A1 Addition to 10

Ask the child to complete the equations. These probes can be administered on a group basis. A2 Addition to 20

S1 Subtraction from 10

S2 Subtraction from 20

M1 Multiplication to 20

D1 Division to 20
