Executive Function Skill Measures
EF+Math R&D project teams created measures that provide asset-based data on how students use their executive functions and related cognitive skills in math learning. Some teams also developed assessment tools, such as AI-driven technologies embedded in digital platforms that detect how students are using their cognitive skills, and adapt the platforms’ learning supports or assessments in response to student activity.
