Creation and Dissemination of Upper-elementary Mathematics Assessment Modules
Project URL
Full Description
This project has constructed, pilot tested, validated, and is now disseminating assessments of student achievement for use in upper elementary grades. There are four equivalent forms for each of the fourth and fifth grades, with each form covering (1) number and operations, (2) pre-algebra and algebra, and (3) geometry and measurement. Items are based in the literature on student's cognitive growth and are meant to:
- Represent central ideas in the subject matter;
- Focus on the meaning of facts and procedures; and
- Require more complex responses than traditional multiple-choice problems.
These forms and associated technical materials can be accessed at: http://cepr.harvard.edu/ncte-student-assessments
