Abstract
To implement the national profile for reporting student mathematical achievement requires alternative assessment strategies. A team of classroom teachers was brought together to prepare a package of rich assessment tasks (RATs), evaluated for their potential in assessing mathematical performance and aligning the profile. The search process highlighted issues as the need to match assessment to the classroom context, and the changing role of teacher and students through varying assessment procedures, resulting in production of tenets for developing and evaluating RATs.
