Siinse uuringu eesmärgid on matemaatikapädevust hindavate testide arendamine, matemaatikapädevuse empiiriliselt eristatavate dimensioonide kirjeldamine ja matemaatikapädevuse hindamise tulemuste tutvustamine DigiEfekti projekti valimi näitel Eesti 3., 6. ja 9. klassides, tuginedes Rootsis välja töötatud matemaatikapädevuse uurimise raamistikule (MCRF, Lithner et al., 2010), mida täpsustati uurijate poolt Eesti kontekstis (Johanson et al., 2021). Uuringust selgus, et loodud testid on kõrge reliaablusega ning võimaldavad nii kolmandates, kuuendates kui ka üheksandates klassides eristada viit matemaatikapädevuse dimensiooni. Dimensioonide eristamiseks loodud faktormudeleid iseloomustavad head sobitusastme näitajad, kuid faktorite vahelised korrelatsioonid on suhteliselt tugevad. Vastavalt empiirilist kinnitust leidnud mudelitele osutusid kõigis vaadeldud koolistmetes kõige keerulisemateks ülesanneteks kommunikatsioonipädevust ja arutluspädevust hindavad ülesanded ning kõige paremini lahendati protseduurilist pädevust ja esituspädevust kirjeldavaid ülesandeid.
