Peer reviewedCharles, Randall I. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Two successful procedures for evaluating problem-solving performance in the classroom are shared. Five goals for teaching problem-solving are noted, followed by a discussion of evaluating a child's performance through joint use of: (1) analyzing written work; and (2) observing and questioning students.
