Per request at the coaches' meetings, here's the website for this assessment of a child's developmental level for math understanding:

After reaching the Number Worlds website, click the button marked "Assessment." You will need to download each of the four components listed. (It is free!)
This test was designed especially for K and first grade. I've also used this with struggling second-graders. It is an individually-given normed test that takes about 10-15 minutes. The score is given in the form of a chronological-age equivalence.
As schools are headed toward more data-driven decision-making, we often ignore the developmental differences in students at the younger ages. Here is a way to include that information into the equation.
