Online Assessment

The online assessment system designed for FOSS grades 3–8 is called FOSSmap. Teachers use FOSSmap to assign assessments to students, review codes for student responses, and run reports for the class and individual students. Students use FOSSmap to take the assessments.

Your class must have individual student accounts to use FOSSmap. For help detailed instructions on how to use the online assessment system, view the short tutorials and Quickstart PDFs on our Walk-through Videos page.

To get to the online assessment as a teacher or a student, you go through FOSSweb. Login to FOSSweb as you usually do, then click on the module you are currently using.

Note: The latest assessments in FOSSmap may not match the print version in your Investigations Guide. If you need to use a paper/pencil version of any assessments, make sure you download the latest assessments (Assessment Masters) and coding guides (Assessment Chapter) located under Teacher Resources on your module page. We periodically update the assessments in FOSS and the most up-to-date versions of the assessments and coding guides are on FOSSweb.

FOSSmap is available for the following FOSS editions:
  • Grades 3-8, Next Generation
  • Grades 3-5, Third Edition
  • Middle School Second Edition
  • Grades 3-5, Texas Edition
To learn more about the FOSS assessment system, please view the Assessment chapter, located under "Teacher Resources" on your module page.
