Discover Your Students' Attitudes Toward Math with this Free Survey for Grades 2-5

This free Math Attitude and Interest Survey allows elementary school teachers to quickly evaluate their students' perspectives on math at the beginning and end of the school year. The survey contains over a dozen agree/disagree statements written at an early to late elementary reading level. Students simply reflect on their feelings about math by responding to each prompt. Teachers can use the results to understand potential negative outlooks and discuss changes over the course of the year. Compare responses without assuming that attitudes will improve. This one-page resource provides an efficient snapshot of class trends that guides instructional approaches. It's an easy tool to implement individually, in small groups, or with the whole class.
