Iowa math tests show individual strengths in fifth and eighth grades
Iowa DPI developed math assessments for fifth and eighth graders to identify specific strengths and weaknesses. Results from 11,528 fifth graders and 16,131 eighth graders reveal high competence in operations like three digit times two digit multiplication and fraction addition, while estimation and metric skills show room for improvement. The tests serve as classroom tools and may guide curriculum changes, with potential statewide use again in 1980.
