|content= This resource provides a link to the Math Centre 'diagnostic test' pages, which provide examples of assessment questions to probe student's particular areas of understanding, and weakness on the topics available.  Diagnostic tests can provide useful insight into the specific problems learners experience in a given topic - [http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/tests/swf/Arithmetic/Diagnostics/1-01d.swf for example], whether they stuggle with particular types of fraction, or operations on fractions.  These tests may be useful in their own right - particularly for older learners - but are also a useful resource to explore effective ways to use diagnostic tests in teaching.
