Diagnostic Assessment
The Early Grade Math Assessment (EGMA) is an oral assessment designed to measure a student's foundation skills in numeracy and mathematics in the early grades, including number identification, quantity discrimination, missing-number identification, word problem solving, addition and subtraction, shape recognition, and pattern extension.
These skills assist in building the math foundation that is needed for students to accomplish further tasks, such as retrieving information from graphs, as well as other measurement tasks.
EdData II developed the EGMA methodology and has applied it in four countries and six languages. It has been adopted and used by other implementing partners in seven other countries and five other languages. EGMA has informed the design of training and materials packages to improve early grade math instruction.
