Three university instructors read the portfolios (each portfolio was read twice) and rated them<br />
holistically on a scale <strong>of</strong> 1 to 5. Anchor portfolios for each <strong>of</strong> the five scale points were<br />
developed as part <strong>of</strong> this process and are included in this document. Placement decisions<br />
based on portfolios were compared traditional test scores. Test scores misplaced students 1/4<br />
<strong>of</strong> the time.<br />

This document provides an overview <strong>of</strong> some methods in mathematics to assess both student<br />
process skills and products. Specific examples are provided for writing in mathematics,<br />
mathematical investigations, open-ended questions, performance assessment, observations,<br />
interviews, and student self-assessment. Any <strong>of</strong> the student generated material could be selfselected<br />
for a portfolio <strong>of</strong> work. The paper also includes a discussion <strong>of</strong> assessment issues<br />
and a list <strong>of</strong> probing questions teachers can use during instruction.<br />
