Algebra Readiness Is a Key Step on a Student's Path of
College and Career Readiness.

With the goal of improving the trajectory of math achievement of all students, SMI focuses on uncovering what students are ready to learn, so teachers can:

• rebuild foundations
• target instruction
• accelerate growth

How SMI Supports the Common Core

The Scholastic Math Inventory is based on the Quantile Framework for Mathematics, a measurement system and taxonomy that quantifies mathematical complexity and mathematical understanding. SMI supports the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics by:

 

• Providing evidence of student’s learning and growth over time.
• Linking assessment to instruction to improve the overall quality of learning and teaching.
• Tracking students’ progress toward the goal of college and career readiness.

Using The Quantile Framework and SMI in conjunction with the Common Core State Standards prepares students to meet the mathematical demands for high school and post-secondary endeavors.
