About the Quantile Framework®
A Proven Measure
SMI was developed in partnership with Metametrics, Inc., the creators of The Quantile Framework® for Mathematics – a proven measure of math achievement and math concept difficulty.
The Quantile measure
The Quantile Framework® for Mathematics uses the Quantile® measure to evaluate both math achievement and the level of math skills and concepts. By placing both student and instruction on the same scale, the Quantile Framework® allows educators to evaluate curriculum needs based on each student’s level of performance.
Using SMI & The Quantile Framework® educators can:
- Universally screen for intervention
- Monitor progress over time
- Connect student achievement to math objectives with a common measure
- Group students for differentiated instruction
- Motivate students to succeed
