Target students and diagnostic questions

These activities are intended for students who use a small range of strategies for the addition, subtraction, and multiplication of whole numbers. They should know most of their basic facts for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

The following diagnostic questions indicate students’ understanding of, and ability to identify the features of a growth pattern that change and those features that remain constant. The questions also explore students’ knowledge of representing growth patterns as word rules, tables, graphs, and equations. Allow access to pencil and paper. A calculator can be used to check answers if needed. (show diagnostic questions)
