Assessment Description

Curriculum Based Measurement math is a standardized assessment that is administered to students whole-group. Students are given two to five minutes to solve basic mathematics problems in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Digits in the answer that appear in the correct place are scored as correct digits and the total added to become the student's raw score. This raw score is entered on a chart, Pocket CBM, or online program such as Dibels or AIMSweb.

Administration Frequency

CBM math can be administered as a benchmark passage four times a year or weekly to chart numerical growth progress. It is appropriate for any grade level, but used most frequently in elementary schools.
