Elementary Math Updates:
April 2016
Content Information & Recommendations

K-1 Assessments from DPI:
o The MOY assessments should already be entered into the eData
platform. The eData platform will close on Thursday, April 28th for the
MOY assessments. Scores cannot be entered for the MOY assessments
after that date.
o The EOY assessments for K-1 should arrive in all schools no later than
May 2nd. These assessments have already been posted to CMAPP
under the resources tab. In previous years, the EOY student reports
were placed in cum folders. This year, the paper copies do not need
to go in cum folders. However, it is important that EOY scores be
entered for ALL students in the eData platform before the end of the
year!
o Videos to support Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers have been
distributed to IRTs. You can find these on CMAPP or click here for

Kindergarten and here for 1st Grade.
o Reports can now be generated by Data Managers, IRTs, and
Principals. You can find these on CMAPP or click here for an
informational video on how to run teacher- or school-level reports. This
would be useful data to review about students’ K-1 math
performance.
nd
2 Grade EOY Assessment:
o In previous years, 2nd grade students have taken the EOY Case 21 for
math. This year, the district only provided a MOY Case 21 assessment
for all subjects. For schools/teachers interested in collecting summative
assessment data for students in 2nd grade math, there is an optional
assessment posted to CMAPP under the resources tab for 2nd grade.
This assessment was created by DPI, similarly to the K-1 assessments,
and is completely optional! Schools will be responsible for printing and
copying.

As we begin to approach the end of the school year, please make sure that
all red books (How Children Learn Number Concepts) and brown books
(Developing Number Concepts) are kept at your schools. There will not be an
opportunity for replenishing materials that have been lost due to teacher
transitions. These materials were provided to ALL Kindergarten teachers, CCK
teachers, Math Intervention Teachers, etc. as part of their training this year.
If your school is in need of additional NKT kits due to the addition of K classes,
please contact Crystal Cabral ([email protected]). We have received the
additional shipment of materials and can supply them as needed for growth.
Thousands of schools across the country have taken part in one of Sumdog's
free regional math contests this year. The next free math contest for Wake
County elementary and middle schools will run between Friday May 13th and
the following Thursday. http://www.sumdog.com/enter_contest
