Is your child being left behind in Math?

When students can do these questions (at their grade level and below), mentally — without using pencil and paper — they are likely doing well. For students who can't handle these questions, this is a warning sign. Very often they need help outside of the classroom. Students who can do the questions at and above their grade level may need a more challenging experience. 

See how well your child answers these questions. The results may surprise you!

First Grade:11 + 12 = ___

Second Grade:1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = ___

Third Grade:How much is 99 plus 99 plus 99?

Fourth Grade:Count by 1¾ from 0 to 7.

Fifth Grade:Which is greatest: 17/18, 23/30, or 18/19? Explain how you got your answer.

Sixth Grade:Halfway through the second quarter, how much of the game is left?

Seventh Grade:How much is 6½% of 250?

Pre-Algebra:On a certain map, 6 inches represent 25 miles. How many miles do 15 inches represent?
