Questions Worth Asking (Book)
The BCAMT is proud to present a new collection of stories by educators from across the province called Questions Worth Asking About Assessment in Mathematics Classrooms. Hard copies will be available for free at this year’s fall conference in Burnaby, but we have provided three chapters available online as a preview.
