K-2 Math Screener
Know Where Every Student Stands
The Problem
The K-2 Blind Spot
State testing does not begin until 3rd grade. For the first three years of school, most districts are flying blind — relying on teacher observation and informal assessments that cannot distinguish between two fundamentally different students.
One student cannot decode a word problem but understands place value completely. Another student has a genuine math content gap. Both score the same on a standard screener. Both get labeled as behind in math. One of them does not belong in remediation — and every week they spend there is a week lost.
California SB 1067
California Senate Bill 1067 requires school districts to improve outcomes for English Learners. The K-2 Math Screener gives your district the data to act.
How It Works
Three Steps. Precise Answers.
The screener runs on iPad, requires no student login, and produces a complete gap map in under 15 minutes.
Adaptive Assessment
The student works through bilingual questions covering 61 standards across K.CC through 2.G. Claude Haiku powers the adaptive engine — after each response, the AI selects the next question: advance, probe a prerequisite, or trigger a language gap test.
- ◆69 California Common Core Math standards
- ◆61 bilingual questions — English and Spanish
- ◆iPad-optimized, no student login required
- ◆FERPA-compliant — anonymous student IDs only
Language Gap Detection
When a student fails a word problem, the engine immediately follows with a pure computation version of the same concept. Fails the word problem, passes the computation — the system flags this as a language gap, not a math gap.
- ◆Automatic language gap probe on every failure
- ◆Same concept: word problem vs. pure computation
- ◆Gap type recorded distinctly — never conflated
- ◆Precise differentiation in real time
Actionable Gap Map
The teacher receives a color-coded gap map for every student. Standards are grouped by domain. Language gaps render in a distinct color from content gaps — so the teacher knows immediately which students need math intervention and which need language support.
- ◆Color-coded by mastery: green, amber, red
- ◆Language gaps in amber — distinct from content gaps
- ◆School-wide heat map for principals
- ◆Export-ready for IEP and intervention planning
The Differentiator
No Other Screener Does This
Standard math screeners — including widely used commercial assessments — do not distinguish between a math content gap and a language barrier. They cannot. They are not designed to.
The Brown Forces K-2 Math Screener is the only assessment built specifically to make this distinction — and to surface it to teachers in actionable, color-coded form.

What Teachers See
A Gap Map That Tells You What to Do Next
Every student gets a color-coded standards map. You see immediately which standards are mastered, which need reinforcement, and which appear as language barriers rather than content gaps.
Green — Mastered
Standard is fully demonstrated across question variants.
Amber — Language Gap
Student passes computation but fails word problems. Needs language support, not math remediation.
Red — Content Gap
Student struggles with the concept itself. Math intervention is appropriate.
Gray — Not Yet Assessed
Standard not reached in this session. Schedule a follow-up.
What Principals See
School-Wide Intelligence
The principal view surfaces the school-wide language gap rate by grade — what percentage of students who appear behind in math are actually experiencing a language barrier.
This metric has direct policy implications for English Learner programs, resource allocation, and SB 1067 reporting.
Standards & Compliance
Built for California. Ready for Any State.
FERPA Compliant
No student names stored. Anonymous IDs only, assigned by the teacher. Student privacy protected by architecture.
California CCSS Aligned
69 standards covering Kindergarten through 2nd Grade math — K.CC, K.OA, K.NBT, K.MD, K.G through 2.G.
Fully Bilingual
All 61 questions available in English and Spanish. Bilingual mode can be enabled per student.
SB 1067 Ready
California's English Learner mandate requires districts to track and improve EL outcomes. This screener gives you the data to do exactly that.
California SB 1067
Your District Has a Reporting Obligation
California Senate Bill 1067 requires districts to track and improve outcomes for English Learner students. Standard math assessments cannot tell you which of your students who appear behind in math are actually English Learners with a language barrier — not a math gap. This screener can. Every assessment produces data you can use directly in your EL program reporting.
