Exemplary Math Assessment

The Assessment Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 1995) presented six standards about exemplary mathematics assessment. They addressed how assessment should

  • reflect the mathematics that students should know and be able to do;
  • enhance mathematics learning;
  • promote equity;
  • be an open process;
  • promote valid inference; and
  • Be a coherent process.
