• In Event: Pedagogical Content Knowledge Brief Report Session: Knowledge of Students' Thinking

We will describe the initial development of an assessment to measure teachers’ ability to interpret and respond to students’ mathematical thinking. We will report on a cyclical process of item development including how analysis of responses to free-response items informs development of complex multiple-choice items.
