Assessing Children's Mathematical Knowledge by Barry Cooper
In England, the majority of the items in national testing of mathematics and other subjects have set mathematical tasks in every day situations such as 'shopping'. This book draws on the analysis of national curriculum test data in order to explore the nature of the difficulties children experience with 'realistic' items.
“…this is an important book for those who teach mathematics, work with teachers and set assessment tasks” – Educational Review
