How do I use Math Screener results to determine the TouchMath curriculum entry points for each student?
Step-by-Step Guidance
Generate one of these reports
TouchMath Individual Student Placement Report
- Follow the steps outlined here
- An entry point into the curriculum will be indicated for each student included in the report
The Math Screeners administered at Kindergarten through 6th grade level include questions that measure at-risk status for seven early numeracy indicators. The suggested entry point takes the individual student's risk status into account when recommending an entry point.
Student Screener Summary Report
- Follow the steps outlined here
- Use the student's performance on the Early Numeracy Indicators and their domain-specific grade level equivalents to select the appropriate program level, instructional unit, and cluster.

Each student is listed individually Early Numeracy Focus - indicates the least complex indicator with which the student is "at-risk." Starting Point - Indicates the grade level appropriate TouchMath program, including the Instructional Unit and Module |
Student Screener Summary Report
Teachers can customize the recommended entry point by considering the student's performance on the indicators and the grade level equivalencies.
This is a 3-step process
- Consider the student's risk status on the numeracy indicators
|
|
Navigate to the Early Numeracy Indicators These are organized in the order of complexity. The least complex indicator that this student is at-risk for is Operations with Whole Numbers |
- Consider the student's enrolled grade level and grade level equivalent (GLE)
|
|
Navigate to the overall and domain-specific score section Notice the Grade Level Equivalents (GLEs) earned by the student This student is learning at a 4th-grade level. This level is addressed in the TouchMath Upper Grades Curriculum |
- Locate the Numeracy Indicator and TouchMath program recommended entry point in the tables below
