MIPI Testing
Math Intervention / Programming Instrument
The MIPI is based on the old (pre-2022) Aberta Math Curriculum.
As such in September 2023, it would only be appropriate to use the MIPI with grades 5 and above. Grade 4-6 classes that used the new (2022) Alberta during the 2022-23 school year should not use this MIPI test.
MIPI is a Math test based entirely on Alberta Curriculum outcomes. It is to be delivered at the beginning of the school year, testing what students recall from the previous year's curriculum.
This tool is created by Edmonton Public School Board and they have allowed us access to this testing. As a result, you will notice that there are many references to EPSD.
Contact the Instructional Coaches for help in setting up the MIPI for your class, running the MIPI in your class, or running the Flubaroo marking addon afterwards. Resources which explain the process are found below.
Review the Set up (click button above). Contact information for assistance can be found in the Implementation Guide.
Review this site including the video tutorials specific to your school's implementation plan.
The MIPI has been designed to reflect selected learning outcomes from the previous grade based on the Alberta Program of Studies.
The MIPI is one of many tools teachers use to assist with planning for and implementing interventions to support individual students.
The MIPI is intended to be completed without calculators and has been designed accordingly. School administrators have the choice to allow students to use calculators, if calculator use is part of the regular programming for an individual student or class.
Time allotted for writing MIPI:
Grades 2 and 3 - 35 minutes to a maximum of 50 minutes
Division 2 - 50 minutes maximum
Division 3 - 50 minutes maximum
Division 4 - 60 minutes maximum
Step 2: Choose Digital or Paper Format
There are two ways to administer this instrument, Digital or Paper.
Step 3a: Digital Instructions:
Use the Digital Format if:
You have some experience/expertise with Google Apps
Electronic Google Form to administer this assessment.
Select the grade level you wish to create the MIPI for and click “Copy”. This will then create a copy of the form automatically. When the copy is created, rename the form by adding your School Name (eg. Your School, Grade 3, MIPI, 2021/22)
Use Flubaroo Google Sheets Add-on for automatic analysis (auto marking tool) ; this gives you better data than using the "Quiz" self-marking feature available in Google Forms
Entire assessment is done on a electronic device with internet access (Chromebook, desktop or iPad)

Step 3b: Paper Instructions:
Print out a PDF version of the MIPI
It is the school's responsibility to print the MIPI
Manually assess the math intervention (see Answer Keys below)

Step 4: Marking
Use Flubaroo (auto marking tool)
While you can use the "Quiz" function in Google Forms to administer the MIPI test, we recommend using Flubaroo to provide class averages and question averages
