Summary
"This is a review of methods to assess students' real mathematics achievement, including looking at students' completed tasks or products (portfolios, writing, investigations, and open-ended quesitons) and at students' performance or how they are working (through observations, interviews, and questions). It also discusses student self-assessment, gives sample problems, and raises issues that need to be considered."--Publisher's description.
