Introduction to Modelling:

Introduction to Modelling - essay on an approach to teach modelling which allows assessment of the modelling, communication and knowledge criteria in the 2008 Syllabus.

Theory into Practice:

NWREL - very good essays on the purpose and theory of assessment, with practical examples of "good" assessment.
NWREL Mathematics Problem Solving Model - An excellent model for designing and scoring rich tasks.

Assessment Help:

MICReport - Mathematics B Report comment generator (rough, but may help with comments).
Assessment Rubrics - An excellent site with a heap of rubrics to assist with assessing alternative tasks.

Using MIC to integrate assessment:

The design of MIC allows seamless instruction and assessment, what I call "embedded assessment". At almost any point in the course Explorations, Challenge for Champions, and Projects can be used as a starting points for rich assessment tasks. Throughout each chapter, students are encouraged to make poster presentations to the class of their discoveries with Challenge for Champions and Projects, some of which may be used as assessment tasks.

Progress monitors - a list of all the Key Concepts in each chapter. Students are given advice about how to use these to learn effeciently.

Advice to students - about how to use the Key Concepts and Progress Monitors to learn and study efficiently.
