Assessing Math Concepts

Assessing Math Concepts™ (AMC) is the only formative math assessment for grades K–2 that accurately uncovers students’ knowledge of key number concepts, the heart and foundation of mathematics for young students. The assessments are a series of short interviews that go beyond “getting the right answers” to reveal students’ true understanding. Teachers use this level to guide instruction so that students are working at the most appropriate level for maximum growth and understanding.
