Math in Novel Situations (MANS tests)

Thank you to Martin Herbert for suppling this information.  Unfortunately Over the years many of the materials have been lost.  Below is a full set of grade 4.  Additional grade levels can be found in Research Reports.  These are available from ERIC.  A Summary is below. Write me for more all reports.  or search for them at ERIC.

These are the Tests developed by the Evaluation staff Martin Herbert, Knowles Dougherty and Gail Marshall.  The evaluation staff director was  Martin Herbert at CEMREL and independent from the development staff.  I would suggest that the reader begin with Reading the IReport to Dissemination Committe er or the more detailed  MANS manual

Included her is 4th(red) and 5tth Grade tests X1,X2, Y1,Y2.  (orange).   X1 and X2 are version of the same test.  Same with the Y versions.  The X version Y version include teacher directions but not the 4th grade red tests.  Old Version of beta materials and Evaluation Reports from ERIC https://eric.ed.gov    are also provided.
