What is Mathematics-Writing Sequences Scoring

Chapter 6
Assessing Disciplinary Writing in Both Research and Practice
This is an approach to assessing mathematical writing that counts the specific features, including the number of correct writing sequences, the number of incorrect writing sequences, and the percentage of correct writing sequences.

Abstract
Mathematical writing has gained attention as an essential component of discourse. Assessing and scoring students' writing pieces about mathematics has the potential to allow teachers and researchers to gain insights into the depth of students' understanding beyond what they can express orally, including their use of visual representations and symbolic notation. This chapter presents four approaches to assessing mathematical writing available in the research literature, including holistic rubric, analytic rubric, elements, and mathematics-writing sequences scoring. A description of how student writing samples were scored, and the benefits and limitations of each approach is provided. Considerations to allow teachers and researchers to make informed decisions about scoring students' writing in mathematics are provided.
