Formative assessment is an ongoing process that involves gathering and analyzing evidence of students’ thinking, then using what is learned to inform instruction.

This updated digital collection of formative assessment tasks is designed to allow students to share their thinking when solving matter problems.

The tasks:

  • Go beyond facts or simple recall
  • Require students to decide what knowledge to apply and when
  • Can be solved in a variety of ways
