Abstract
In this paper, we present the application software on mobile tablet device called mathematics curriculum-based measurement (iCBM). The iCBM was developed by various mobile technologies. Thirty-four fifth-grade elementary students participated in the study. The findings demonstrated that students had positive attitudes toward the iCBM system as well as taking math tests through mobile tablet devices. The observations of usability test on iCBM system indicated that children can use iCBM successfully. Suggestions are made about the interface design for children while using iCBM to solve math problems.
