FastBridge is a screening tool that is individually administered to students. A teacher inputs data electronically as students respond to assessment items. Information from the FastBridge assessment is used alongside other formal and informal data to guide instruction and monitor student progress with early numeracy skills.
FastBridge early math assessments allow schools to screen and monitor a student's progress in developing early numeracy skills typically used in kindergarten and first grade. There will be three sub-tests of the FastBridge used to screen students early math skills.
FastBride is used as a screener and can instantly inform teachers if additional assessment data is needed.
