New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics

The main organization for the teaching of mathematics in New Hampshire.

Balanced Assessment

From 1993 to 2003, the Balanced Assessment in Mathematics Program existed at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The project group developed a large collection of innovative mathematics assessment tasks for grades K to 12, and trained teachers to use these assessments in their classrooms. The library of over 300 mathematics assessment tasks developed during the project remains freely available through this Web site. Teachers may use these materials in their own classrooms at no cost.
