Daro, Phil; Burkhardt, Hugh – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2012
We propose the development of a "population" of high-quality assessment tasks that cover the performance goals set out in the "Common Core State Standards for Mathematics." The population will be published. Tests are drawn from this population as a structured random sample guided by a "balancing algorithm."
