Slide 2—Advance Organizer
Welcome to the Texas Early Mathematics Inventories training.
Our focus will be on learning about the Texas Early Mathematics Inventories
– Progress Monitoring, or TEMI-PM, and the Texas Early Mathematics
Inventories – Outcome, or TEMI-O.
Review the items on the slide that will be taught during the workshop.
The general information, administration procedures, scoring procedures,
and instructional decision-making content can be found in each Teacher’s
Manual.
Point out to participants that the administration, scoring, and instructional decisionmaking content is provided, so a lot of information will be discussed.

Slide 3—General Information: Purpose of the Measures
The TEMI-PM can be used for two major purposes:
1. To identify students in the fall who are having mathematics difficulties
in number, operation, and quantitative reasoning skills and, thus, would
benefit from intervention.
2. To monitor the progress of all students and to inform instruction across
the school year. Progress monitoring results can be used to determine
whether students would benefit from additional intervention or have
reached the performance level (25th percentile) to exit from intervention.
The TEMI-O has one main major purpose: to monitor whole-class mathematics
performance in the fall, winter, and spring on the Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills (TEKS).
Note that items assessing kindergarten and second-grade TEKS are included to
minimize floor and ceiling effects (see Teacher’s Manual).

Slide 4—General Information: Assessment Periods
The TEMI-PM and TEMI-O should be administered three times during the
school year.
Review content on the slide. Emphasize that the initial assessment period for
kindergarten may vary across school districts. Some districts may choose to assess
students during the winter assessment period. Other districts may assess students
later in the fall.

TEMI Training: First Grade ¸ 7
Slide 6—Description
The TEKS provides number, operation, and quantitative reasoning skills that
students should learn during the school year and across grades.
The TEMI-PM targets several of these key skills and can be used to identify
kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade students with mathematics
difficulties. The TEMI-PM can also be used as part of winter and spring
testing to monitor student progress in number, operation, and quantitative
reasoning skills across the school year.
Each TEMI-PM subscale asks students to solve as many problems as they
can for 2 minutes. The 2-minute timing provides an effective and efficient
method for measuring student achievement.
Numerous studies and reports have validated tests with timed formats (see
www.studentprogress.org or go to http://progressmonitoring.org/search/
default.asp and enter the keyword “math”), and evidence of the validity of
the timed TEMI-PM measures is found in the technical manual.

Slide 7—Description (cont.)
It is important to adhere to the 2-minute time limit per subtest—which was
part of the norming process—so that the percentiles can be used to help
make instructional decisions. Normative data cannot be used if the 2-minute
time limit is not followed.

Slide 16—Time at a Glance
The TEMI-PM is designed to be given in 30 to 45 minutes in 1 day. This
“time at a glance” provides a breakdown of how time is managed during the
administration of this test.
The Demonstration items provide students with a model of the test format
and how to correct errors.
The Practice time helps students learn how to take the test.
Two minutes are allocated for the actual subtest.
It is important to adhere to the timelines to ensure fidelity of administration
procedures that are similar to the norming procedures.
Students should be reminded that they are not expected to answer every
item and should do their best.

Slide 20—TEMI-O
It is important to assess student performance on all of the mathematics
TEKS throughout the school year. The TEMI-O includes items that sample
each of the K–2 TEKS. Remember, the TEMI-O tests easier and/or later
TEKS to minimize floor and ceiling effects.
The TEMI-O consists of two tests: Mathematics Problem Solving is
administered with a stretch break, and Computation is administered the
next day.
There are three forms (A, B, C), one each for fall, winter, and spring
administration. The TEMI-O is not a timed test, but it should be given in
30–45 minutes per day.

Slide 25—Administration Tips
Review the content on the slide. Emphasize the importance of following the
administration procedures and adhering to the allocated time per item.
Experienced testers have indicated that 30–45 minutes is a sufficient amount
of time, as long as the pacing guidelines are followed.
However, we have heard of some examiners taking well over an hour to
administer Mathematics Problem Solving. In these rare cases, either the
teacher waited until all students answered each item, or their pacing was
overly deliberate.

Slide 36—Scoring Procedures: TEMI-PM
Subtest scores and the Total Score on the TEMI-PM provide important
information for teachers to identify students that can benefit from
intervention and to monitor the progress of all students across the school
year.
Teachers can use the results from the TEMI-PM to identify students for
homogeneous groupings and to determine students who should enter or exit
tiered intervention, depending on how they have responded to instruction.
We have devised scoring approaches, including a complete and abbreviated
approach. Teachers can choose the approach that best meets their
instructional decision-making needs.
We have provided tools to help with scoring, such as Scoring Sheets and
overlays.
In this section, we provide general information about the TEMI-PM Scoring
Sheet; procedures for the complete approach to scoring, including examples;
and procedures for the abbreviated approach to scoring, including examples.

48 ¸ TEMI Training: First Grade
Slide 44—Abbreviated Scoring
Here is an example of an abbreviated Scoring Sheet for first grade. Teachers
can do an abbreviated version of scoring, whereby they score the TEMI-PM
only until the student reaches the 25th percentile score. The abbreviated
scoring approach is a faster way to score and identify students who reach the
25th percentile and, thus, do not qualify for Tier II intervention (37 is the
total number of items completed correctly to achieve at or above the 25th
percentile).
The abbreviated version will not provide a complete picture of the student’s
performance on each subtest. Also, the electronic class report is not an
option with the abbreviated scoring approach. (The electronic class report is
discussed in the Instructional Decision-making section.)
Be sure to cross out “Test” next to total. Do not consider this a Total Score.
To get a TOTAL score, all items must be scored, which does not occur with
abbreviated scoring.
The advantage to abbreviated scoring is that it takes less time than scoring
all items. Note that students who qualify for remedial intervention will have
©2008 University of Texas System/Texas Education Agency
TEMI Training: First Grade ¸ 49
their whole test scored, because they NEVER reach the score associated with
at or above the 25th percentile.
The disadvantages to abbreviated scoring are (a) you cannot determine
strengths and weaknesses across subscales, (b) you cannot use the ABC
classification system, and (c) you cannot use the electronic report. So it is a
cost-benefit ratio situation. If all you are interested in is determining who
does and who does not qualify for intervention, the abbreviated scoring is a
legitimate option.
We recommend the complete scoring approach because the electronic
class report can be used, but it is up to each school district to decide which
approach is best for instructional decision-making purposes.

Slide 52—Identification of Students who are Struggling:
ABC
Results from the TEMI-PM can be used to identify students who can benefit
from intervention. These students have a TEMI-PM total score below the
25th percentile.
The ABC system can be used to make identification easy:
t Students in the A group (color-coded green) score above the 35th
percentile. Instruction seems to be effective for this group.
t Students in the B group (color-coded yellow) score at the 25th percentile
to the 35th percentile, which is the lower end of the average range (the
average range is from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile). Teachers
should monitor this group of students carefully to ensure that they are
benefiting from typical classroom instruction.
Notes continue on the next page.
©2008 University of Texas System/Texas Education Agency
58 ¸ TEMI Training: First Grade
t Students in the C group (color-coded red) score below the 25th percentile.
These students can benefit from intervention. They should receive
homogeneously grouped intervention.
Results from fall, winter, and spring administrations can be used to monitor
the performance of all students across the school year.
Some students may qualify for intervention, while others who have been
in intervention may qualify to exit intervention (score at or above the 25th
percentile).
