SCHOLASTIC MATH INVENTORY™ (SMI)

is a research-based, computer-adaptive math assessment program for students in Grades 2 – 8+ that measures math understanding on The Quantile Framework® for Mathematics. The most powerful feature of SMI is its ability to administer fast and reliable low-stakes assessment to inform instruction and make accurate placement recommendations. Aligned to the Common Core State Standards, SMI helps educators forecast student achievement to those important goals.

With SMI, educators can:

Support an RTI Framework®

  • Reporting on a developmental scale, Scholastic Math Inventory supports universal screening for all instructional levels.
  • Assessing in a computer-adaptive environment supports growth monitoring.

Receive an Accurate, Native Quantile® Score

  • Assessing students directly on a proven scale provides a highly accurate score.
  • Assessing on Scholastic Math Inventory provides a native Quantile score, not a derived score from a correspondence table.

Forecast Growth toward State Goals

  • When state math goals are aligned to The Quantile Framework, Scholastic Math Inventory can forecast individual and group outcomes.
  • With forecast tools, instructional interventions can be targeted, personalized, and effective.

Demonstrate Accountability

  • With 8 reports that provide clear actionable data, Scholastic Math Inventory keeps all educators focused on outcomes.
  • With 4 bilingual school-to-home letters, Scholastic Math Inventory helps educators communicate learning goals to parents and guardians.
