About MathsCheck Plus

Mathematics Assessment for Learning (AfL) Tool

MathsCheck^Plus is designed for Primary 2 and 4 students to identify students’ learning gaps using skills descriptors and is closely aligned with the MOE Primary School Mathematics syllabus.

P2 MathsCheck^Plus is a computerised linear test, where questions are presented to students in a fixed, sequential order.

P4 MathsCheck^Plus is a Multistage Adaptive Test (MST). It provides a customised test experience as it adjusts the test difficulty according to the student’s performance during the test. Students are given approximately 1 hour to complete the test.

MathsCheck^Plus for Teaching and Learning

SEAB collaborates with Academy of Singapore Teachers (AST) to conduct workshops for MathsCheck^Plus Champions from participating schools.

AST’s Master Teachers use the insights from MathsCheck^Plus reports to develop classroom strategies to close students’ learning gaps. The workshops are a valuable platform for teachers to understand their students’ learning difficulties and learn good practices from colleagues from other schools.

MathsCheck^Plus Reports

A School Report and a Class Report will be provided.

School Report

The School Report provides a holistic overview of students’ performance at the school level. It provides a qualitative comparison of students’ performance against the national average performance. If the school participates in MathsCheck^Plus for three consecutive years, the School Report also provides trend information.

Class Report

The class report informs teachers about each student’s mastery of Mathematical skills and topics.

Teachers can use the information to identify students who need greater support, and craft class-level and cohort-level remediation strategies.

Progression from MathsCheck^Plus to CATalytics

Using the insights from P4 MathsCheck^Plus, teachers can identify students who need additional support in specific topics and use CATalytics to pinpoint exact learning gaps. This targeted approach also enables teachers to provide more targeted intervention and check how students are managing a topic post-intervention.

Please refer to the infographic below for an overview of how MathsCheck^Plus and CATalyticscan be used in tandem to support students’ Mathematical development throughout their primary school years.

Registration

Registration for MathsCheck^Plus will open in the second half of the year. School leaders and key personnel will receive emails with registration details.
