Assessment as Instruction
Assessment and instruction can seem opposed to each other, with assessment serving only as a measure of
success of instruction. These resources show that assessment can be used as an essential part of the
instructional process itself.
A set of more than 300 assessment tasks actually designed to inform teaching practice!
Most tasks, indexed for grades K-12, incorporate a story problem and include hands-on activities. Some intriguing
titles include Confetti Crush, Walkway, and Hockey Pucks. Rubrics for each task are provided.

Developed by the Washington education agency, these modules embed the content of
the state assessment within the process of problem solving. Each module consists of problems that engage students
in practicing/learning mathematical concepts. Following each module is a set of assessment items that test the
content covered in that module. Rubrics are included. Although intended for high school students, most of the
material is appropriate for the upper middle grades.

The materials here were designed for use by mentors for K-9 students in after-school
programs, but are useful in any teaching situation. In each grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 8-9 algebra), you will
find four units focused on number and operation, geometry and measurement, statistics and probability, and patterns
and functions. Each unit has pre-assessment activities to help determine prior knowledge as well as student needs.
