Ages: 3-0 through 8-11| Testing Time: 40 minutes The TEMA-3
measures the mathematics performance of children between the
ages of 3-0 and 8-11 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. Thus, the test can be used to
measure progress, evaluate programs, screen for readiness,
discover the bases for poor school performance in mathematics,
identify gifted students, and guide instruction and remediation.
The test measures informal and formal (school-taught) concepts
and skills in the following domains: numbering skills, number-
comparison facility, numeral 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. The
characteristics of the sample approximate those in the 2001 U.S.
Census. Test results are reported
