i-Ready Diagnostic
Good evening,
This week students will take the Ready Mathematics Diagnostic. We need your help to encourage your child to put forth their best effort on the i-Ready Diagnostic, especially after the remote learning last spring.
You may review the video I am sharing in class to help students understand the importance of taking their diagnostic as well as they can. It is NOT a test that they receive a score or a grade. It is figuring out where they need the most support in math.
Taking the i-Ready Diagnostic Video
I am including a slideshow presentation you should review. Students will be taking this diagnostic at home during our Zoom session. Each student will be placed in their own private Zoom while they are completing their diagnostic. We should complete this diagnostic in 2 Zoom sessions.

If your child has Math in, they will complete their diagnostic on these days during Zoom.
*Please make sure students are on time for their Zoom sessions as it will take the full hour and begin as soon as we start class.
| 1st | Wednesday | Friday |
| 2nd | Wednesday | Friday |
| 3rd | Wednesday | Friday |
| 4th | Tuesday | Thursday |
| 5th | Tuesday | Thursday |
*Please know that it is important that your child does NOT receive help answering questions on this diagnostic. You would not help read the letters for them on an eye exam, so you would not answer the math questions for them on their diagnostic.
Online Lessons: “My Path”
If you try your best on the Diagnostic, online lessons will match what you need to learn.
How does the Diagnostic work?
i-Ready is adaptive. This means the questions change based on your answers to earlier questions. You will see questions you won’t know how to answer. That is okay! Some questions will be hard, easy, and just right!
Why is the Diagnostic really important now?
This past spring, you were learning from home. Doing your best on the Diagnostic now will help you and your teacher know what you learned while you were at home and what you are ready to learn.
What should you do?
Try your best. Read each question and answer choice carefully. Do not rush, but do not spend too much time on any one question. Remember: Just like when we are at school, your teacher and family cannot help!
