Know what to practice next
What your diagnostic report includes
- An overall assessment result and percentages by assessed skill area
- Explanations of the skills and what the answers suggest

- Recommended worksheets and workbooks for targeted practice
Review the topic breakdown online. Choose DOWNLOAD REPORT to save or print the PDF, or IMPROVE to explore recommended materials. The beginner and intermediate assessments are free; recommended practice materials may be sold separately.
Use a later assessment to review performance after practice. Results describe the skills assessed rather than every aspect of a child’s mathematical ability.
Choose a diagnostic level
Choose from three first-grade diagnostic assessments. Beginner and Intermediate are free; Advanced costs $5.
- Beginner diagnostic assessment: a starting point for checking arithmetic, number skills, time, and money.
- Intermediate diagnostic assessment: a more challenging assessment that also includes geometric figures and measurements.
- Advanced: additional challenge for children ready to extend their learning.
If you are unsure where to start, choose Beginner and use the report to decide what to practice before moving on.
First-grade math skills covered across the levels
Topics vary by assessment level. The beginner assessment covers seven areas; Intermediate adds geometric figures and measurements.
- Addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers up to 100
- Addition and subtraction using mental math
- Comparing numbers and quantities
- Digits and place value
- Finding missing numbers in addition and subtraction
- Time
- Money
- Geometric figures, measurements, and units of length in Intermediate
Difficulty increases across the levels. Some questions provide enrichment beyond foundational first-grade skills; use the level-specific report to understand the results.
How to use a first-grade diagnostic assessment
Use the results to guide practice at home, in tutoring, or alongside classroom learning. Encourage your child to answer independently; help with reading instructions when needed without supplying the answers.
After completing the test, follow the prompts for the child’s name and an email address to receive the report and recommendations.
A lower score suggests a topic to revisit. It does not define a child’s overall ability or potential.
