Steps are described first for converting a norm referenced test to instructionally relevant information, and second, for applying, rescoring, and summarizing results of the criterion referenced…

Specific procedures for assessing a handicapped student's mastery level within a continuum of mathematics skills are described, and analysis of error patterns discussed. (CL)

The article proposes that mathematics instruction with limited English proficient learning disabled students requires special instruction in language comprehension, knowledge of syntax and vocabulary, and understanding of relational terms as they apply to mathematics. A diagnostic prescriptive approach is advocated. (Author/DB)
