Description

To really know your students, a math diagnostic interview can be an important way to know your students’ understanding in multiple domains.  The information that this diagnostic will give you about your students’ math knowledge and number sense is amazing.  This diagnostic tool allows you to dig deep about your students’ knowledge, make plans for whole-group and small-group instruction and show progress for students who are not at grade-level standards.

The math diagnostic interview was created by educators dedicated to ​identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses​ in their mathematical understanding. The interview is ​not a universal screener​ to be administered to all students. However, it is intended to serve as a ​1:1 diagnostic interview​ with students to learn more about their level of understanding in ​foundational skills that are critical for conceptual understanding of mathematics​. A research based universal screener should be used to first identify students who are at risk for difficulties in mathematics. Once students are identified, the ​Diagnostic Interview​ can be used to determine deficits​ and ​target instruction​ based on need.

The interview is designed for educators to observe (hear and see) students’ strategic approach to solving math. The assessor should write observations that would be helpful as targeted instruction is designed to close students’ gaps.

The ​Diagnostic Interview​ is not intended to be used for progress monitoring, but it can be re-administered up to three times per year (BOY, MOY, and EOY) to measure whether or not the student is closing foundational gaps. It is recommended that you align more frequent progress monitoring to the intervention being provided between growth checks using this assessment.
