When designing assessment tasks, the choice of fraction model is an important consideration. This page lists some of the common models for fractions, and gives examples of tasks that suggest or demand the use of that particular model.

An important aspect in the design of an assessment task is the choice of the response type. This page illustrates the impact of varying the response-type in a task that focuses on comparing unit fractions.

This page lists some of the common assertions about the use of contexts, which may help you to form an opinion about the value of contexts in assessment tasks.
