RESUMO

Number understanding and counting, calculation and solution of arithmetic operations presented orally are basic abilities for the arithmetical skills and the learning success. Alterations of these abilities can jeopardized the academic performance of children and also indicate impairments such as acalculia or learning impairments dyscalculia. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the arithmetic abilities of 1st and 2nd grade students from the Basic Education with the Arithmetic Test and to compare the score with the one achieved in the São Paulos School Performance Evaluation System (SPSPES). The aim was to verify correlations between the two tests. In the study 240 pupils of 1st and 2nd grade of the Basic Municipal School in São Paulo were evaluated. The test scores were compared between the two grades with the dependent variable: the SPSPES score in two categories based on different correction criteria (Type of Answer and Correct Answers) and the Arithmetic Test score based on correct answers. Results showed better performance of 2nd grade students when compared to the 1st grade students with significant differences in SPSPES and Arithmetic Test for the Correct Answer category. However, there was no difference between the two grades for the Type of Answer Category, proposed by the creators of SPSPES evaluation. To conclude, a positive correlation was found between the two correction categories of SPSPES and Correct Answer of the Arithmetic Test.
