This session will describe a summative assessment in which middle school students create a comic strip. A rubric was used to evaluate the students’ depth of mathematical understanding displayed in the comic. The presenters will share the assignment, rubric, student work samples, and the effect of cartoons on students’ attitude toward mathematics.
