Assessment and reporting
—
By starting with what students already know, Amplify Desmos Math helps build a strong foundation for success to guide and support future learning. Teachers are empowered to transform every classroom into an engaged math community that invites, values, and develops student thinking. With explicit guidance on what to look for and how to respond, teachers can effectively support students as they develop their understanding.
Program assessments
—
A variety of performance data in Amplify Desmos Math provides evidence of student learning while helping students bolster their skills and understanding.
Unit-level assessments
Our embedded unit assessments offer key insights into students’ conceptual understanding of math. These assessments provide regular, actionable information about how students are thinking about and processing math, with both auto-scoring and in-depth rubrics that help teachers anticipate and respond to students’ learning needs.
Lesson-level assessments
Amplify Desmos Math lessons are centered around sense-making and in-the-moment feedback. Daily moments of assessment provide valuable evidence of learning for both the teacher and student.
mCLASS Assessments
—
The valid and reliable assessment system of mCLASS® Assessments measures proficiency against grade-level expectations and reveals underlying mathematical thinking to recommend individualized support for all students. The integrated benchmark and progress-monitoring assessment system provides better insights about what students know, what math assets to leverage, and where students need support. Preview the teacher, student, and administrator experience of mCLASS Assessments here.
mCLASS Benchmark
This powerful assessment is digitally assigned to the whole class three times annually: beginning-of-year (BOY), middle-of-year (MOY), and end-of-year (EOY). Designed with open responses to give more robust data-points gathered from each item, the Benchmark takes 30 to 40 minutes to complete. The rich data can be used as a diagnostic for Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention.
Boost Personalized Learning activities can also be assigned based on assessment results to provide students with focused practice and instruction on identified topics and skills—always with scaffolds tailored to student responses.
mCLASS Progress Monitoring
These Progress Monitoring assessments help teachers chart students’ progression between Benchmark assessment windows. For students receiving targeted support, Progress Monitoring informs whether intervention is working or whether adjustments are needed to improve student learning.
These short yet effective assessments help teachers monitor a student’s math performance between mCLASS Benchmark assessments. They can be assigned to a select group of students needing targeted support in a specific skill or Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention, and are aligned around crucial math domains for each grade level. See a sample Progress Monitoring assessment here.
Data and reporting
—
Amplify Desmos Math provides teachers and administrators with unified reporting and insights so that educators have visibility into what students know about grade-level math—and can plan instruction accordingly for the whole class, small groups, and individual students. View an overview of the Amplify Desmos Math reporting suite.
Assessment reports
Reporting functionality integrates unit assessments, lesson assessments, personalized learning, Benchmark assessments, and Progress Monitoring for a comprehensive look at student learning.
Our reports show proficiency and growth by domain, cluster, standard, and priority concept using performance data from unit assessments. Then our reports highlight areas of potential student need to allow teachers to modify their instruction and target differentiated support.
At-a-glance views of unit-level assessment results inform your instructional planning, and you can also drill down to item-level analysis.
Standards reports
Our standards report allows you to monitor proficiency at the class and individual student levels. Proficiency and growth are shown by domain, cluster, standard, and priority concepts. Areas of potential student need are highlighted to allow teachers to modify their instruction and target differentiated support.
Administrator reports
