The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) present unprecedented opportunities and challenges for schools and districts as they work to adopt the standards. The stakes are high for students, teachers, and administrators. We offer the use of formative assessment (FA) as one instructional approach to help practitioners leverage these standards to develop mathematical procedural skills, reasoning abilities, and conceptual understanding in students. Using the work from two research universities, this symposium will present an overview of two complementary approaches to FA and will present findings from joint validity studies of two intervention studies.
