What Your Elementary Student Needs to Know About Math

This webpage is dedicated to establishing a minimum set of standards that should be met by all students. This standard is based upon the Washington State Grade Level Expectations and common sense grade expectations. Instead of basing the standard on vaguely worded requirements, these standards are based on testable requirements. Being able to pass the test means you pass the standard. Each of these assessments are designed to fit onto a single page and take less than 10 minutes to complete. These assessments are mostly limited to mathematical computational expectations.
