Comprehensive Mathematical Abilities Test [CMAT]

Wayne P. Hresko, Paul L. Schlieve, Shelley R. Herron, Colleen Swain, Rita J. Sherbenou

The CMAT helps to identify students who are having difficulty, as well as those students who are exceeding beyond expectations.
Based on actual materials used to teach math in schools and on state and local curriculum guides, the CMAT is a major advance in the accurate assessment of the mathematics taught in today’s schools. All items represent real-world problems using up-to-date, current information and scenarios. Use as few as 2 subtests or as many as 12, depending on your purpose for testing.
The CMAT has six Core Subtests (Addition; Subtraction; Multiplication; Division; Problem Solving; and Charts, Tables, and Graphs) and six Supplemental Subtests (Algebra, Geometry, Rational Numbers, Time, Money, and Measurement). For most testing purposes, you will want to give only the Core Subtests, which can be administered in about 40 minutes. The Supplemental Subtests are used in those relatively few instances where information about higher level mathematics ability is needed.
Both age-based norms (ages 7 to 19) and fall and spring grade-based norms (Grades 3 through 12) are provided, giving the examiner flexibility in meeting state and local educational agency guidelines. Testing time is between 30 minutes and two hours on an individual basis.

Test of Early Mathematics Ability - Third Edition [TEMA-3]

Herbert P. Ginsburg, Arthur J. Baroody

The Test of Early Mathematics Ability - Third Edition (TEMA-3) measures the mathematics performance of children between the ages of 3 and 9 and is also useful with older children who have learning problems in mathematics. It can be used as a norm-referenced measure or as a diagnostic instrument to determine specific strengths and weaknesses. The test measures informal and formal (school taught) concepts and skills in the following domains: numbering skills, number-comparison facility, numerical literacy, mastery of number facts, calculation skills, and understanding of concepts. It has two parallel forms, each containing 72 items.
The all new standardization sample is composed of 1,219 children. Test results are reported as standard scores, percentile ranks, and age and grade equivalents.
Also provided is a book of remedial techniques (Assessment Probes and Instructional Activities) for improving skills in the areas assessed by the test. The two forms of the test allow you to study a child's mathematics progress over time. Testing time is 40 minutes on an individual basis.

Test of Mathematical Abilities - Second Edition [TOMA-2]

Virginia L. Brown, Mary E. Cronin, Elizabeth McEntire

The Test of Mathematical Abilities - Second Edition (TOMA-2) is the latest version of this popular test. The TOMA-2 was developed for use in grades 3 through 12. It measures math performance on two traditional major skill areas in math (i.e. story problems and computation) as well as attitude, vocabulary, and general application of mathematics concepts in real life. This norm-referenced test can be used to monitor progress, evaluate programs, and do research. The TOMA-2 has five subtests, four in the core battery (Vocabulary, Computation. General Information, and Story Problems) and one supplemental subtest (Attitude Toward Math).
The results of the test, which takes approximately an hour and a half to administer, may be reported in standard scores, percentiles, and grade or age equivalents. The standard scores of the core battery are combined to comprise a total score called the Math Quotient. Normative information is given for students age 8-0 through 18-11.
Reliability coefficients for the subtests are above .80; those for the quotient mostly exceed .90. Ample evidence of content, criterion-related, and construct validity are provided in the manual.
