Elementary Mathematics Assessments

Use of the Mathematics Observational Profile or eMARC is required by all classroom teachers and is to be marked five times each year (once each quarter and again as a summative documentation at the end of the year).
In the fall of 2000, Wake County teachers in grades K- 2 began to administer new quarterly assessments and the year-end summative assessment to determine student needs and progress throughout the year. All new kindergarten, first and second grade teachers should receive the assessment training before the end of the first quarter. The assessment is used district-wide to meet requirements of the state Board of Education.
The elementary math department provides student assessment booklets and teacher manuals.
