Which of the following is a desirable strategy for assessing students' learning in mathematics?
A.Same tasks should be given to all students for parity.
B.Students' incorrect answers should be ignored.
C.Students' justification of their responses should be an important basis of assessment.✓ Correct
D.Development of mathematical vocabulary should not be a basis of assessment.
Explanation
Assessing students' justification of their responses is essential because it reveals their mathematical reasoning, conceptual understanding, and ability to communicate ideas. Uniform tasks for all ignore individual differences. Incorrect answers offer valuable insights into misconceptions and should be analyzed, not ignored. Mathematical vocabulary development is integral to mathematical literacy and should be assessed. Justification-based assessment aligns with progressive mathematics pedagogy.
