Description: A National Science Foundation project charged with developing new approaches to the assessment of mathematical competence in the elementary and secondary grades. This project has created a type of mathematics assessment that contrasts sharply with traditional forms of testing, which rely primarily on multiple-choice questions. Balanced Assessment focuses on rich, mathematically complex work that requires students to create a plan, make a decision, or solve a problem, and then justify their thinking. The site contains samples of mathematics assessment tasks; the complete collection of more than 250 tasks is available for purchase in paper and CD-ROM formats.
Levels: Elementary, Middle School (6-8), High School (9-12)
Languages: English, Spanish
Resource Types: Internet-Based Projects, Link Listings, Articles
