What is MAP?
• MAP – Measures of Academic Progress• Achievement tests that help us know
what skills and concepts in reading and mathematics your child knows and what he/she needs to learn.
• Delivered by computer
How does MAP work?• Questions are displayed on the
computer screen.• The difficulty of the test will adjust
based on how the question is answered. • No two tests will ever be the same. It
