Measuring Up: Prototypes for Mathematics Assessment

there is often more than one way to knock down a pin may be an interesting and attractive feature of this activity. But from the viewpoint of playing the game, once is enough!

Characteristics of the medium response:

The responses to questions 3, 4, and 5 include at most two incorrect equations, and at most two possible pins are omitted.

Characteristics of the low response:

The low response shows some understanding of basic arithmetic; at least five equations are written correctly. But there is apparently little flexibility of thought, because many of the pins that could be knocked over are left standing.
