CBMmath Process allows teachers to track the types of errors students make when solving single and multi-step math problems. It consists of a General Outcome Measure (GOM), and single- and multi-skill sub-tests for each level.
Overview
The assessment can be used for screening, progress monitoring, or further diagnostic purposes. When used for screening, a rapid scoring procedure is applied; while the error analysis scoring procedure is available for universal screening, it is not recommended due to the amount of time this scoring method takes.
When used for progress monitoring, an error analysis scoring procedure is applied; the rapid scoring method is not available for progress monitoring when using CBMmath Process.
CBMmath is available in Braille for grades 1-6.
| Grade Level | Time |
| 2nd - 3rd |
10 minutes |
| 4th - 6th | 15 minutes |
Students take the Process assessment on paper. It is then scored online by the teacher.
CBMmath Process is one of three types of FAST curriculum-based measurement (CBM) for math. The others are CBMmath Automaticity and CBMmath CAP.

Student forms and teacher scoring keys are available in the Training and Resources section of the FastBridge website. Select the tile for “downloads.”
Procedure
CBMmath Process can be administered to individuals or groups of students The teacher reads scripted directions out loud to the students and then starts a timer for the required amount of time. At the end of the time interval, the teacher tells the students to stop and collects their papers.
