assessment in mathematics education

Assessment in mathematics education refers to the process of evaluating students’ understanding and skills related to mathematical concepts. It involves collecting evidence, such as tests, quizzes, projects, or classwork, to determine how well students grasp the material. The purpose is to identify strengths and areas needing improvement, guide instruction, and support student learning. Effective assessment is ongoing, varied, and aligned with learning objectives, helping teachers tailor their teaching and providing students with feedback to enhance their mathematical proficiency.
