The Quantile® Framework for Mathematics, developed by educational measurement and research organization MetaMetrics®, comprises more than 500 skills and concepts (called QTaxons) taught from kindergarten through high school. The Quantile Framework depicts the developmental nature of mathematics and the connections between mathematics content across the strands. By matching a student’s Quantile measure with the Quantile measure of a mathematical skill or concept, you can determine if the student is ready to learn that skill, needs to learn supporting concepts first, or has already learned it.
