When assessment is an integral part of mathematics instruction, it contributes significantly to all students’ mathematics learning. When assessment is discussed in connection with standards, the focus is sometimes on using tests to certify students’ attainment, but there are other important purposes of assessment. Assessment should be more than merely a test at the end of instruction to see how students perform under special conditions; rather, it should be an integral part of instruction that informs and guides teachers as they make instructional decisions. Assessment should not merely be done to students; rather, it should also be done for students, to guide and enhance their learning.
