The tests below are "end of the year" tests for the Light Blue complete curriculum that goes by grades. In other words, the tests are meant to be taken AFTER studying the particular grade.

You can ALSO use these tests to help you find the right book in the Blue Series, or as a general diagnostic test for mathematics. Just look at the test results per "sections" of similar problems (addition, multiplication, measuring, geometry, place value, problem solving). You can always email me your child's test results if in doubt.

I advice that in order to start with Math Mammoth complete worktext for grade X, the student should get a grade of 80% or more in the previous year's "end of year" test. Children scoring between 70 and 80% may also continue with the next grade, depending on the types of errors (careless errors or not remembering something, vs. lack of understanding). Use your judgment.

Tip: If you notice your child has problems with one or two concept areas in a particular test, but otherwise does OK, you can use my Blue Series books to "fill in those gaps".

For example, if the child does well in other areas but cannot tell time, you can use the Clock book from Blue Series to help him, before starting the grade-level series books. Check the list of Blue Series books here. You can also email me with your test results if you have trouble deciding which Blue Series book you should use for such gap-filling.

Questions about placement

1. My K student wants more challenge and to do 1st grade math. How can I know if the Light Blue grade 1 is the right choice for my child?

The Light Blue grade 1 starts out with the same material as these books from the Blue Series: Addition 1 and Subtraction 1. Look over those, see their samples and contents, and that will probably tell you if your children are ready for grade 1.

2. I'm a Math-U-See user and my child has not studied some of the materials you cover earlier than MUS. How do I switch over to Math Mammoth?

I'd simply recommend you first have her take a placement test to know exactly what she knows and what she doesn't about those topics that MUS does not cover as much, such as measuring, money, clock, geometry and problem solving.

Then once you have had the child take the test, you can choose books from the Blue Series to address specific topic areas, such as measuring, clock, money, geometry, or beginning fraction topics.

Remember also, I'm ready to guide you with these decisions. Just let me know the child's test results by sections.
