Review "Anyone interested in the current state of assessment in mathematics education will find this book relevant." Scott A. Fellows, Mathematics Teacher "The book... is though provoking. The authors succeed in showing the complexity of the problem of assessing mathematical proficiency and the difference, sometimes dramatic, in the perception of this issue by various stakeholders. The majority of them convincingly argue in favor of tasks and procedures that would go beyond simple computational or operational abilities." Alex Kozulin, American Journal of Psychology Book Description This volume presents the results of discussions among mathematicians, math education researchers, teachers, test developers, and policymakers who gathered to work through critical issues related to mathematics assessment. It highlights the kinds of information that different assessments can offer, with examples of some of the best mathematics assessments worldwide.
