Maine School Administrative District 75

Goal: Administer the Early Numeracy Screening to all students in grades K-2 in order to identify students who are struggling in number knowledge and computation.

This tool will serve as:
 - one measure for determining if a student is in need of an invention program.
 - a formative assessment in helping to plan instruction for struggling math learners.
