BSSS Annotations Project: Mathematics

These documents are designed for practical application in schools and at system moderation. There are many approaches to assessment that meet requirements outlined in the BSSS Quality Assessment Guidelines.

Quality assessment tasks within this document may inspire you, however, they are not intended to be interpreted as the only BSSS endorsed approach.

Expectations about the quality of knowledge and skills that students should have attained are represented by Achievement Standards. Achievement Standards without exemplification can be open to different interpretations. Student work samples within this document make the standard visible. Student work samples graded A and C are Board endorsed. This means that they are the official standard used to inform judgements on grading student work at a school and system level.

All tasks and assessment rubrics delivered in schools must be tailored to allow students to meet the expectations and cognitive demands of the course. This means developing assessment that enables students within your context and cohort to meet the Standard as articulated in the Achievement Standards in the given course.

When developing a suite of assessment tasks for a unit consider the following:
