Number Series

Number series questions are used to test ‘number logic’. The questions consist of a series of numbers with one number missing. You will then need to find the missing number. These question types assess logical thinking. For example: 4, 7, 12, 15, 20, ? Number analogy questions are presented to identify relationships, similarities or differences, and dissimilarities in a series or between groups of numbers.

Get children interested in learning to read

Reading is such a fundamental starting block for any learning. It is the main channel for learning in most schools or educational settings and a necessity for future academic achievement in mainstream education.  Children are however not always ready for the world of reading by the time they go to school. The reason for this is as important as the solution. Some of these reasons or causes for why they may not be susceptible to the world of reading are exactly what you need to identify in order to find the best solutions.

• A younger sibling might feel intimidated by the reading ability of the older. Best solutions would include reading separately with the younger sibling to build their confidence. 
• A child may not be developmentally ready for reading. Ways to help with this is to
  • Make sure your child knows their sounds. This can be tricky as English is not a phonetical language. Find games, whether on screen or paper to help them learn the rules. Teach Your Monster To Read has been a favourite for us. 
  • Start off with pictures, discussing the story told by these and developing a curiosity for the story and expressing themselves in language.
  • Follow your child’s reading with your finger to give them a point to focus on.
  • Find stories that interest them. Whether they are into dinosaurs, princesses or space. Topics that interest them is the key. 

Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4)

CAT4 are essential in providing teachers with a rounded profile of a child, thus making it easier to decide about the progress of learners and offer appropriate support. Teachers use CAT4 to gauge strengths and weaknesses in four main aspects including verbal, non-verbal, spatial, and quantitative reasoning. CAT4 is statistically reliable since it is annually verified by analyzing 250,000 pupils and is standardized on 25,000 children. Therefore, it is a true reflection of pupils’ potential and effectively reveals factors that affect their performance. GL assessment provides both group and individual reports that are easy to follow; thus, teachers can get a complete picture of the learning skills of the students. National performance records, including GCSE, KS2, and A-level indicators, provide the basis for evaluating CAT4. 3. The Eight Sections of the Cognitive Abilities Test Verbal classification test. Each question in this test contains three words that have the same meaning. Pupils are supposed to discover the concept linking the three words and then select one word that best fit with them from the list of other five words provided. It assesses word knowledge, verbal reasoning, and language development.

Why use CAT4 Stanine Scores?

Although there are no formal assessments required between Year 2 (KS1 SAT) and Year 6 (KS2 SAT), some schools use the CAT4 as a standardised form of testing. They then use these results to not only set the pace but also identify possible learning difficulties. This can be very helpful in supporting learners to reach their full potential. It also gives the school a lot more information to work with. Schools deny that they use these results to put children in sets. Many, however, acknowledge that they use it to get a clearer individual picture of a child in addition to other results available to them.   The CAT4 does not assess knowledge previously learnt in school. Instead, the CAT4 assesses the reasoning ability of a child in four areas.

Verbal Reasoning CAT4

This involves words. These appear in the form of verbal classifications & analogies.

Non-verbal Reasoning

This involves shapes and patterns. These appear in the form of figures & matrices.

Mathematical:

This involves numbers. These appear in the form of number analogies & series.

Spatial Reasoning

This involves mentally generating and transforming visual images.  These appear in the form of figures.

Cognitive assessments (CogAT) tests

CogAT assessments are done to check primarily three skills:

• Verbal skills,
• Quantitative skills, which include all kinds of sums and calculations, and
• Non-verbal skills.

 

CogAT portals for determining special pupil talents.

CogAT tests are used by many schools and they can be taken independently as well without the supervision of teachers at the comfort of home.

• American use cogAT assessments to test students between the school grades K to 12.
• The CogAT test determines the reasoning qualities of a child and compares his or her progress to the children of the same age and groups.
• It also shows teachers how best to teach individual students.

 

What are the different levels of CogAT tests?

There are 14 levels of tests and each of them is suitable for fourteen different grade students:

• The test materials are different for different levels. For example, a grade 4 student will never get the same questions in the same test as to what a level 9 student is being asked.
• Here the levels mean the ages. So, level 5 means the child is 5 years old.
• The first level of the test is 5 or 6, which is the kindergarten level. This determines that the child appearing for the kindergarten level test should at least be 5 years or 6 years old but not more than 6 years old. If the child is older than 6, then he or she will have to take a more advanced level test.
• As the cogAT level progresses, the time provided in the examinations becomes less and the students get more advanced questions. The 11^th level test is the toughest one and the number of questions that they will be getting is 176.
• 90 is the pass mark.

What is the CogAT format?

• Students identfiy two identically different pictures or concepts are related. There will be the use of images or words or both and the level of explanation in the question will depend on the level of the test the child is appearing for.
• This CogAT section consists of 14 questions and the child will get not more than 15 minutes to answer this section.
• The questions might come in this manner. A calf is to cow as foal is to ____; and the options will be sheep, horse, goat, and pig. The child will have to select any one of these four and proceed to the next section.
• Respondents have to quickly use their eyes and get an idea of figuring out the similarity. Based on all these questions, the students will be provided a grade, which will assist them in their academic journey further.
