Giving the DMA

Posted on January 15, '10 by Karen Boreman.

The Developmental Math Assessment is a classroom-based assessment. During the DMA, carefully developed and field-tested procedures, materials, and tasks are presented to help the teacher gain knowledge about children’s understandings of important mathematics concepts. The assessment is conducted in four steps.
1. Plan – Prepare for when and where the assessment will be given.
2. Prepare Materials – Make copies of blacklines needed
3. Conduct the Assessment – Easy to follow directions are given
4. Analyze results and plan guided follow-up instruction.

Watch this podcast to learn how the DMA is given.

Activity Book

Posted on September 20, '09 by Karen Boreman.

We are very excited to have the Number Concept Activity Book completed and at the printers.

It is a book that will help teachers know what activities they can do to help children depending on their level of understanding of the essential number concepts. This book has been a two year process and we are excited to have it done and available to the public.
The book will be listed on our web-site once I have received them from the printer. The cost of the book with all levels Pre-kindergarten through Grade 2 will be $45.00. We will also have each level available at a cost of $19.99.
If you have been using the DMA then we feel that the Number Concept Activity Book is a must have. It will help you with specific activities to do with your students after you have administered the DMA and analyzed the results.
