Evaluating Problem Solving in Mathematics.
Szetela, Walter, Nicol, Cynthia
Educational Leadership, v49 n8 p42-45 May 1992
Effective assessment of mathematical problem solving requires more than an examination of student answers. Students tend to make calculations without explanations. Teachers need to analyze their processes and get students to communicate their thinking. This article suggests ways to understand students' thinking, their conceptions, their weaknesses, and their strengths. (six references) (MLH)
