Aligning Assessment with the NCTM's Curriculum Standards

Abstract

I recently found myself in the ideal situation of wanting to integrate the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) more fully into my teaching and, at the same time, being enrolled in a class that required me to research some aspect of assessment and then engage in a practical assessment project. As a result, I decided to find out more about standardsaligned assessment and then see if could use it with my high school precalculus students.
