MATATAG Mastery Diagnostic Rubric & Remediation Tips
Performance Level Observed Student Understanding Recommended Teacher/Tutor Next Steps
Mastery (14-16 pts) Accurately aligns addends in vertical columns, decomposes into tens and ones without misalignment, and adds sums fluently. Advance to 3-digit vertical expanded form or introduce horizontal mental decomposition.
Developing (10-13 pts) Understands vertical column alignment but occasionally misaligns tens into the ones box or makes single-digit addition slips. Use color-coded column dividers (blue for tens, red for ones) to reinforce strict vertical alignment.
Needs Support (<10 pts) Struggles to see that vertical columns represent place values (e.g., adds 2 + 4 as 6 ones instead of 60). Use bundled popsicle sticks (bundles of 10) placed directly into vertical columns before writing on paper.
