Welcome to SMAPP!

The Project - SMAPP

The Singapore Mathematics Assessment and Pedagogy Project (SMAPP) is part of a broader research initiative on "Pedagogy and Classroom Processes" in the research framework of the National Institute of Education, Singapore.

The overarching goal of SMAPP is to enhance the quality of mathematics teaching and learning by developing formative and summative assessment practices, making these assessment practises an integral part of teaching and learning, and broadening student learning outcomes through authentic tasks based mathematics assessments.

Its focus areas include developing new assessment tasks, teacher learning, and the integration of IT in mathematics instruction.
