A Peek Inside: Numeracy Assessments Binder

Hi friends!

Lots of people have been asking about how I organize my assessments so I wanted to share how I organize my numeracy assessments with you today!

I will be doing a post about my literacy assessment binder soon as well!

I use a nice big 3″ binder for both my literacy and numeracy binders.

*You can find this cover in my teacher binder product here*

I keep these sheets in my inside cover. I have the kids make the numbers with small manipulative to assess creating numbers to 10 and 1:1 correspondence.

You can grab these sheets by clicking on the image below:

I keep all my manipulative that I need for my assessments handy in this clear pouch.  I’m pretty sure I bought it at Dollarama.  It includes number flashcards from 1-30, a number line, Canadian coin manipulative, pipe cleaners cut to various lengths (for ordering items by length) and a square and rectangle attribute blocks for comparing shapes.

My first two tabs are “Whole Class Data” and “Intervention Planning/Tracking”.  Then each student gets a tab. I also have a tab at the back for PRIME since we are required to do PRIME testing twice a year.

These are the tabs I use.

Then each student gets a copy of my numeracy assessments:

Here is number sense for Term 1:

Measurement for term 1:

Geometry for term 1:

Patterning and data management for term 1:

 I also have these sheets for Term 2 for number sense, geometry, measurement and data management.

At the end of each student’s assessment sheets I also add this general observations form to record anecdotal observations.

That’s it! At the beginning of the year I carry my binder around with me and assess their number sense during centre time. After that I usually pick a specific expectation I plan to assess that week, make an assessment checklist or recording form and carry that around on my clipboard.

Once I gather my diagnostic data I use that to create my guided math groups and plan 2-3 intervention lessons based on the area of need.  I assess at the end of those lessons and record their growth or add lessons if we didn’t meet the goal we were working towards.

I hope that makes sense! I do plan to do digital someday but I really like having it on paper for now.
