Assessing Early Elementary Students' Place Value Understanding

This document contains a set of materials we created, selected, or adapted for the purpose of assessing children’s understanding of place value. These materials were sequenced to form a diagnostic assessment for use in a one-on-one, interview-type setting. The resulting collection of tasks and questions require approximately 20–30 minutes to administer with an individual child. The assessment is designed for diagnostic purposes. It is not intended to generate an achievement score.
