Methodology

The Mathematics Diagnostic Tool is Wagona Maths assessment tool that identifies the weaknesses and strengths, knowledge gaps and misconceptions of every student . Using the Mathematics Diagnostic Tool, Wagona Maths is able to prescribe the right ways to resolve the areas of weaknesses and consolidating the strong ones.

We use a four step step cycle in our approach.

1. DIAGNOSIS

Knowledge gaps and Misconceptions are the major reasons why children struggle with mathematics. This makes starting with an assessment of student capabilities and weaknesses a natural starting point. The Mathematics Diagnostic Tool is created not only to score a child’s performance but to give an analysis of the performance in order to create a bespoke study programme geared to deliver improved results.

2. TEACH

Every question on our platform comes with smart answers and an explanation of the answers. A student can use the explanations to correct themselves or seek help on the particular areas of concern.

Teachers and Tutors can also use the diagnosis tool as a SMART Intervention tool as it allows for targeted assistance to be given to students rather than the traditional generic classroom approach.

3. PRACTICE

We believe practice makes perfect! The platform contains thousands of questions all containing SMART answers to allow a student to practice any particular topics until they become confident. With 24/7 access Maths practice can be done conveniently.

4. BRAG

Progress on the platform is tracked through our innovative BRAG system. This is a traffic light system that monitors performance by collating practice and test statistics to create indicators that can be used to anticipate potential problem areas while consolidating mastered concepts.

Black - areas that have not yet been assessed
Red - area of high concern / high attention required
Amber - medium concern/ medium attention required
Green - areas good performance but will require constant validation.
