Insights to differentiate and drive math growth

Whether assessing in person or remotely, Star Math puts assessment data to work for educators, so teachers can spend less time analyzing results and more time differentiating instruction.

Get recommended groupings of students based on both their scaled scores and benchmark categories, or create your own groups for more effective small-group instruction.

Put assessment data in action with Star Math’s instructional planning tools, which identify the specific skills each student group is ready to work on.

One assessment, many uses

Get every student on track for success

Placement tests

There’s no need to over-test students: Star Math can help place students into content from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Edmentum™, Classworks®, and more, eliminating the need for separate placement tests for different instructional programs.

College entrance exams

As early as sixth grade, Star Math helps you see how students are progressing toward both the ACT and SAT benchmarks for mathematics. Quickly identify students who need additional support to get everyone on track for college and career readiness.

STATE LINKING STUDIES FOR STAR ASSESSMENTS

Forecast students’ future performance on state summative tests

With Star, you can forecast which students are on track to perform well on your state’s summative test as early as fall—giving you ample time to intervene early and help get all students on track for success.

Star Math is available in Spanish!

Unlike any other K-12 assessment, Renaissance created learning progressions specifically for English and Spanish. You’ll be able to identify the skills students know in both languages and help chart a path to move them towards mastery.

Powerful Assessment Tools

Assess math skills across multiple domains

Lead students toward math proficiency and mastery with a research-based, state-specific learning progression for math. It shows you the continuum of math strategies, skills, and subskills needed for students to achieve grade-level math proficiency in your state.
