Ongoing Efforts to Develop an Assessment Tool for Students’ Participation in Defining
Page: 931
There has been a push to develop curricula that engages students in various mathematical practices (e.g., defining). As more curriculums of this type arise, there is a greater need for assessment tools for students participating in these practices. We see Modeling Eliciting Activities (MEAs) as one answer to this need. In this study we discuss how the six design principles of MEAs can be used to (re)design an assessment tool for students’ defining activity.
