Portfolio+Assessment

=Portfolio assessment=

This is a means of identification whereby a students submits a collection of work they have selected to a teacher. It is more common in other domains, but I believe could be successfully used in mathematics.

**Advantages**

 * No time constraints.
 * Can reflect particular/special interests of the student.
 * May be integrated over a variety of curriculum areas.
 * Can show progression over time, which may be especially beneficial for Mäori students who have smaller numbers of students in preschool education (Bevan-Brown, 2009).

Disadvantages

 * May pose questions about who completed the work.
 * Students may be reluctant to prepare.
 * May not show anything more than regular classroom work.
