Current school mathematics curricula internationally tend to
emphasize problem-solving and have led to the development of
opportunities for children to do maths in a more open, creative
way. This has led to increased interest in "performance-based"
assessment, which involves children in substantial production of
written language to serve as "evidence" of their mathematical
activity and achievement. However, this raises two important
questions. Firstly, does this writing accurately present children's
mathematical activity and ability? Secondly, do maths teachers have
sufficient linguistic awareness to support their students in
developing skills and knowledge necessary for writing effectively
in their subject area? The author of this book takes a critical
perspective on these questions and, through an investigation of
teachers' readings and evaluations of coursework texts, identifies
the crucial issues affecting the accurate assessment of school
mathematics.
