Description: The Test of Mathematical Abilities–Third Edition (TOMA-3) is an easily administered, norm-referenced, assessment tool used to identify, describe, and quantify mathematical deficits in school age children. Specifically, it can be used to identify students who are significantly behind their peers in mathematical knowledge and to determine the magnitude (below average, poor, or very poor) of any mathematical problems. New Features of the TOMA-3 All new normative data were collected from a demographically representative sample of the 2011 U.S. school-age population. The composite score has neither floor nor ceiling effects. Studies showing the absence of gender and ethnic bias have been expanded. Reliability coefficients have been computed by age and by subgroup within the normative sample (i.e., male, female; White, Black/African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian, gifted and talented, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and mathematical learning disability), as well as for the entire normative sample. Numerous validity studies, including sensitivity, specificity, and ROC/AUC, have been provided. The Mathematics in Everyday Life subtest replaces the General Information subtest, and Mathematical Symbols and Concepts subtest replaces the Vocabulary subtest. The updated manual contains extensive information concerning the content of the subtests and substantially more technical information than was provided in previous editions.
