Junior Assessment of Mathematics (JAM) is designed to be used with students in their first three years at school. It provides tasks that will allow you to assess the achievement of a student in relation to levels one and two of The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) and the mathematics standards for years 1–3 and consists of 11 modules, which can each be used as a seperate assessmment or combined to provide a broader assessment.
Points to consider
Points to consider
Time can be a factor in administering these tests and therefore the assessment needs to be considered in terms of the entire mathematics programme, much as running records are embedded into a reading programme. Sufficient training of teachers in using these tools is important.
