The Arithmetic subtest assesses skills in these areas: counting, number concepts and numerical recognition, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, measurement concepts, fractions, decimals, and percents, geometric concepts, pre-algebra, and rounding and estimation. The manual contains more than 250 teacher-directed, independent, and peer tutoring activities correlated to the skill areas assessed and are arranged according to increasing difficulty.
