Administering the Test

Use the Bond Blocks Test to identify specific areas of difficulty. Begin Bond Blocks activities at the relevant chapter based on the student’s results.

Readminster to track progress over time.

Students reflect on what they need to learn and set specific goals related to chapters of Bond Blocks activities using the Student Reflection and Goal Setting sheet. 

Use the PowerPoint to help adminster the test consistently to all students. The PowerPoint reads each question to the student, freeing the teacher to observe and record student responses. 

There are two versions of the PowerPoint. Choose the one with the mathematical language students are most familiar with.

Recording the Test Results

  • The Excel sheets need to be unprotected in order to highlight rows and sort. Home > Cells > Format > Unprotect Sheet. This will need to be done for each sheet.
