Everyday Mathematics: Assessment Handbook, Grade 5 (The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project)

This grade level specific handbook provides classroom-tested techniques and ideas to make assessment and instruction more manageable, productive, and exciting, as well as offering a more complete picture of each student's progress and instructional needs through techniques and tools from the four assessment areas: ongoing, product, periodic and outside tests. The Assessment Handbook includes suggestions for observing students, keeping anecdotal records, following student progress, and encouraging students to reflect on and communicate both what they have learned and how they feel about mathematics.
