The diagnostic assessment is like a friendly checkup for your child's math skills. It's split into 8 smaller tests, each focusing on important math topics for young learners. This way, we can understand what your child knows really well and find any areas that might need a bit more attention. 

The best part? Each test only takes about 15 to 30 minutes, so it's not too long or stressful for your child. We're looking at how well your child knows things like numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and more. It's a quick and helpful way to make sure your child is on the right track with math! 

Ensure your child answers all questions on the test and finishes the Diagnostic Assessment.

Have your child redo the diagnostic assessment. Login into your parent portal and click on Re-diagnose next to the test.

To reset the diagnostic assessment, login into your parent portal and then click "Re-Diagnose" next to the assessment.

If you feel like your child might be in the wrong learning level, you can do another quick check. Just log in to your parent portal, and you'll see an option that says "Re-diagnose" next to the test. Click on that, and it will give us a fresh look at where your child is at.

The diagnostic assessment helps figure out what your child already knows and how ready they are to learn new math stuff. Based on how they do, the program will pick just the right lessons for them. It's like a customized plan to make sure they're learning at their own speed and level.

Your child should be able to finish the initial diagnostic assessment in about 15 to 30 minutes.

The welcome email contains two logins: one for you (parent) and one for your child. Use your child's login to start the diagnostic assessment, not your parent account. Once logged in, your child will be guided to begin the diagnostic assessment.

The assessment evaluates your child's grasp of key concepts from K-5. For instance, your Grade 3 child might excel in Geometry at a Grade 3 level but need reinforcement in Grade 2-level addition and subtraction. The adaptive curriculum addresses these gaps, tailoring lessons accordingly.

Absolutely! Opt for the Platinum plan and choose the Adaptive Learning path. Following the diagnostic assessment, the program tailors lessons to match your child's individual readiness level.

For tailored learning, go for the Platinum plan and opt for the Adaptive Learning path. Post-diagnostic assessment, the program customizes lessons based on your child's readiness level.

If you've chosen the Adaptive Learning path, encourage your child to retake the diagnostic assessment. Access your parent portal, click on "Re-diagnose" next to the test.

Additionally, explore all K-5 content in your child's account. For example, if you want your child to delve into Grade 5 material beyond the adaptive path, simply click on Grade 5 and choose specific units, topics, and lessons.

For our very young learners in Kindergarten and Grade 1, we suggest spending about 15-20 minutes online each day, completing one lesson. As for students in Grades 2-5, we recommend dedicating around 30-40 minutes daily, which typically covers 1-2 lessons depending on the topic. It's good to take short breaks between lessons. Keep in mind that some lessons might be more challenging or longer due to additional practice and games. If your child takes more time on a particular lesson, completing one lesson per day is still a great pace.

In Singapore Math, mastery is key. This means your child needs to fully grasp and master a topic before advancing to a different unit or a more advanced concept. For instance, they must first excel in addition and subtraction before moving on to multiplication.

The adaptive path begins with a diagnostic assessment, setting a specific learning progression. Once initiated, this progression covers all lessons and practice sets within a given topic and unit, ensuring your child achieves mastery. However, as a parent, you have the flexibility to supplement your child's learning by providing lessons outside of the adaptive path. For instance, if you think it's the right time, your child can explore lessons on geometry, measurement, or other topics alongside the adaptive learning path.

In Singapore Math, mastery is crucial. When your child follows the Adaptive Learning path, they can proceed to the next lesson only after scoring 80% or higher on the previous one. This ensures a solid understanding of concepts before moving forward.

Yes, your child can advance quickly through grades using Adaptive Learning in eSingapore Math. The program's personalized approach allows for accelerated progress as it adapts to your child's mastery of concepts. 

If your child demonstrates a strong understanding of topics, the system will efficiently move them forward, ensuring a pace that aligns with their abilities and promotes continuous learning.

Yes, you can guide your child to follow the Grade's chapter sequence. To do this, log into your child's account, click on "Program," choose the corresponding Grade level, and then select a specific unit/topic along with the lessons in the desired order.

In E-Singapore Math the Adaptive Learning Path is tailored to your child’s individual progress and needs. The lessons adjust based on your child’s diagnostic assessments in different areas (Understanding of Numbers, Fractions, etc.). On the other hand, the individual grade-level program lessons provide grade appropriate content without the adaptive feature.

 To decide which section your child should complete each day, you may consider incorporating a mix of both. The Adaptive Learning lessons offer personalized challenges, while the grade-level program lessons provide comprehensive coverage of the curriculum. Feel free to experiment with a balance that suits your child’s learning style and needs.

The points students receive on the Levels Overview Dashboard correspond to their progress in mastering the 8 key conceptual areas of the Primary Grades Singapore Math curriculum. These areas include Understanding of Numbers, Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Fractions, Geometry, Measurement, Decimals/Percentage/Ratio, and Data/Money/Time.

Points are awarded to students upon completing each lesson and topic within these conceptual areas. Each area varies in difficulty and required learning time, so the points allocated differ accordingly.

Each unit within a conceptual area is assigned a coefficient based on its complexity and expected mastery time. Components of the lesson, such as video instruction, assisted practice, benchmark practice, and games, are then assigned points ranging from 0.5 to 2 based on their significance to the learning process.

Students earn points only when they complete every aspect of a lesson, including video instruction and both sets of practice exercises. Incomplete practice or video sections result in no points awarded for that component. Upon completing 100% of lessons, including all practice sets and games within a conceptual area, students receive the total points allotted for that area.

Singapore Math in grades K-5 organizes topics into 4 essential and 4 less critical areas. Students begin by mastering all important topics within a grade before moving on to the less critical ones. Once they have completed this progression for a grade level, they advance to the next grade.

The program assesses your child on each topic individually across Kindergarten to Grade 5. For example, if you choose Grade 4 to begin the test, the program will present questions from Grade 4. If your child answers these questions incorrectly, the program will then assess their understanding of the topic at lower grade levels. Consequently, your child may be placed into a lower grade level or assigned lessons covering topics from different grade levels based on their proficiency in specific areas.
