According to the NCTM Assessment Standards for School Mathematics (1995), assessment is the process of gathering evidence about a student’s knowledge of, ability to use, and disposition toward, mathematics and of making inferences from that evidence for a variety of purposes. Evaluation, on the other hand, refers to the process of determining the worth of, or assigning a value to, something on the basis of careful examination and judgment.
