The Individual Basic Facts Assessment Tool

There is an identified and growing need for a levelled diagnostic basic facts assessment tool that provides teachers with formative information about students' mastery of a broad range of basic fact sets. The Individual Basic Facts Assessment tool has been iteratively and cumulatively developed, trialled, and refined with input from teachers and students to meet that need. The development of the tool, results from test trials, and our next steps are described in this article. IBFA Fact Sets are appended.
