Test of Early Mathematics Ability - 3 (TEMA-3)
Authors: Herbert P. Ginsburg / Arthur J. Baroody
Description
The TEMA-3 measures informal and formal concepts in numbering skills, number-comparison facility, numeral literacy, mastery of number facts, calculation skills, and understanding of concepts. It can be used to screen for readiness, measure progress, or determine specific strengths and weaknesses. The test has two parallel forms. A book of remedial techniques (Assessment Probes) is included, covering skills assessed by the test. The TEMA-3 was normed on a nationally stratified sample of 1,219 students.
Several important improvements were made in the TEMA-3. First, a linear equating procedure is used to adjust scores on the two test forms to allow the examiner to use scores on Form A and B interchangeably. Second, bias studies are now included that show the absence of bias based on gender and ethnicity. Finally, the pictures of animals and money in the Picture Book are now in color to make them more appealing and more realistic in appearance.
Also provided is a book of remedial techniques (Assessment Probes and Instructional Activities) for improving skills in the areas assessed by the test. Numerous teaching tasks for skills covered by each TEMA-3 item are included. After giving the test, the examiner decides which items need additional assessment information and uses the book to help the student improve his or her mathematical skills.
Administration and Scoring
Administration time is about 40 minutes. Results are reported as standard scores, percentile ranks, and age and grade equivalents.
