Skills Progress Assessments

This series of assessments is intended to be taken at the start of every term from Year 7 to Year 11. Each assessment tests purely the mathematical skills of the students and tracks their progress over the years via the included spreadsheet. Almost every question is provided without context so that the skills are at the forefront of the assessments.

To use the spreadsheet, enter the names of the students in the first sheet. This will then populate throughout the rest of the sheets. For each test, simply put the score for each question for each student, and everything else is then calculated automatically. The last sheet on the spreadsheet, “Progress Sheet” can then be printed out and given to the students so that they can directly see their progress for each skill. Numerical links to Hegarty Maths tasks are also given.

When printing out sheets for the students, note that it will only print out the results for one student at a time, but it will just give them the coloured progress section. When discussing their work, we don’t make any reference to total mark, or what it is out of as we prefer to just focus on their progress with the skills rather than the students just focusing on their total mark.

Should you wish to make any changes to the spreadsheet, the password is “mouse”.
