EARLY GRADE MATHEMATICS ASSESSMENT (EGMA)

• A standardized assessment tool.

• An orally administered assessment of the core
mathematics competencies taught in primary
grades.
• It is administered 20 minute per pupil.
• EGMA items were drawn from extensive research
and were constructed by panel of experts on
mathematics cognition.
• The questions are arranged from simple to
complex. Task are pre-requisite.
• The purpose of EGMA is not to total the scores, it
is analysis by sub-task.
It is composed of 10 Tasks, 60 seconds limit.
Task 1- Oral Counting
Any language used by the child is OKAY.
Task 2- Rational Counting
- (one to one corresponding) using circles
Task 3- Number Identification
- consist of 20 items that increase in difficulty
Task 4- Number Discrimination
- determining which is greater number
Task 5- Missing Number
- 10 item test
Task 6A- Addition Level 1
- consist of 20 items that increase in difficulty
Task 6B- Addition Level 2
- consist of 5 items with increasing difficulty
Task 7A- Subtraction Level 1
- consist of 20 subtraction facts (one digit difference)
Task 7B- Subtraction Level 2
- consist of 5 subtraction facts (two digit difference)
Task 8- Word Problems
- consist of 6 one step addition and subtraction word problems
Task 9- Geometric Pattern Completion
- consist of 5 items
Task 10- Geometric Visualization
- consist of 7 items
HOW TO ADMINISTER?
1. Formost establish a playful and relaxed support with the
children to be assessed via some simple initial
conversation of interest to the child.
2. Determine what language the child used in counting
before you start.
3. Never interrupt the child as soon as he started counting,
if he skips, just go on, anyway it is timed (60 min.).
4. If the child commit 4 successive errors, stop, continue to
the next task.
5. If a child stops on a number for 5 seconds, proceed to
the next number. Cover the succeeding rows with a
bondpaper.
6. For word problems, read the question twice. If the child
can answer during the first ranking, just let him answer. If
the child can answer, pat him and let him continue. Avoid
saying “Very Good! Excellent, bright ka!” Just say Thank
you, padayon ta.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• It is important to establish a playful and relaxed rapport with the

children to be assessed, via some simple initial conversation about
topics of interest to the child. The child should perceive the following
assessment almost as a game to be enjoyed rather than a severe
situation.
 Sa dili pa ta magsugod, mag-ilaila usa ta.

 VERBAL CONSENT.
Read the text in the box clearly to the child.
Gusto nako mahibaloan kon giunsa ninyo pagkat-on ang Math.
Naa ko karon sa pagtabang nimo. Kon ugaling dili ka ganahan, dili pod ka nako pugson.
Magduwaduwa ra ta og counting games ug number games.
Ginamit kining stopwatch akong tan-awon kon unsa ka kapaspas moihap.
Dili kini examination ug dili ka gradohan niini.
Mangutana pod ko nimo bahin sa imong pamilya. Kumusta man ang imong mama? Papa? Mga
igsoon? Unsa man nga mga pinulongan ang inyong gigamit sa balay?
Dili nako isulat ang imong ngalan aron dili mahibaloan sa uban ang imong tubag.
Akong usbon, kon dili ka ganahan moapil ani dili ka nako pugson. Kon ugaling dili ka kamao sa
akong ipangutana pwede ra pod dili ka motubag.
Okey ra ka? Magsugod nata?
Check box if verbal consent is obtained: YES
(If verbal consent is not obtained, thank the child and move on to
the next child, using this same form)
Task 1: Oral Counting 60 sec limit
Gusto ko nga mag-ihap ka. Gamiton nako kining stopwatch. Sultihan ka
 
nako kon kanus-a ka mosugod ug moundang pag-ihap. Mag-ihap ka
 If child makes an
sugod sa usa hangtud sa kinadak-ang numero. Andam naka? error
Sige, sugod na, Usa……  If time reaches 60
Paminawa kon nga mag-ihap. Usa, duha, tulo ……napulo. Sige ikaw sec.
na pod ang moihap kutob sa imong nahibaw-an.
Okey, sugod na, Usa…
