Assessing Students' Mathematics Learning

By Ilene Kantrov

One of two papers in the Issues in Mathematics Education series, this paper explores issues related to both high-stakes and in-classroom assessments in mathematics. Intended for use by schools and teachers, possibly with parents, the paper clarifies common terminology and uses of test scores, and helps guide readers to think about ways of evaluating assessments.
