EYT Early Numeracy 4+

Early Years Toolbox (EYT) Early Numeracy is an iPad-based assessment of children's early number understandings. It assesses children's developmental progress in areas of: counting; number and measurement concepts; number order; ordinality and cardinality; the correspondence between number, digit and quantity; number lines; patterning; subitising; and more. The assessment consists of 79 cartoon scenes, in which children help the main character (Robbie Robot) solve the number problem he is facing. Items are presented in order of increasing difficulty, with a start rule based on age (requires entering age on the home screen) and stop rule after a number of incorrect responses to prevent frustration associated with overly difficult items. The assessments takes an average of 8-10 minutes to complete.

Scores are presented on the final assessment screen. For more precise research applications, there are options to have the item by item data sent to a user-specified e-mail address or database.

About the Early Years Toolbox:

The 'Early Years Toolbox' (EYT, for short) is comprised of brief, engaging game-like assessments of children’s self-regulation, executive functioning and vocabulary. These assessments are based on well-established and widely used measures, yet have been adapted and optimised on the basis of 20+ years of research experience working with young children.
