Math Preparation for Elementary Teachers

Preparation for State Licensure Exams: Student Self-Study

When you enroll in MyMathTest, you can take diagnostics, see your results, and practice the concepts you still need help with. Practice questions within the study plan give you helpful feedback when you enter an incorrect answer and include multimedia resources, such as videos and animations, that help you answer the questions.

Preparation for State Licensure Exams: Instructor Guided

Colleges and universities looking to help their education students succeed on their state licensure exams can create a MyMathTest program using the Mathematical Preparation for Elementary Teachers testbank. You can use the publisher-provided sample quizzes or you can design your own quizzes that assess students' skills, selecting the questions from an online testbank. After you have chosen and previewed the questions, you can view the quiz as it will appear to students. In addition, you can have a wide range of options for your quiz. You can set limits on the number of attempts at the quiz, password access, prerequisites, partial credit on multi-part questions, and many other options. The Custom Question Builder allows you to edit publisher-provided questions from the testbank, or create your own. For example, you can create essay questions that probe deeper and assess students� conceptual understanding.

Based on each student�s initial quiz results, MyMathTest generates a personalized Study Plan that shows at a glance which topics each student needs to practice. The Study Plan links directly to interactive, tutorial questions that students can use for practice. The questions include guided solutions and multimedia learning aids to give extra help when needed.

As the instructor, you have several gradebook views and tools available to you which analyze student performance by item or objective. In addition, you can set up placement recommendations and/or email your students with personalized messages based on their test scores.
