Abstract
This thesis explores tasks as an appropriate classroom tool for assessing student understanding in the age of the Common Core State Standards. I describe numerous tasks that I composed and piloted in my 6th and 7th grade mathematics classrooms, common errors and problems that the students encountered and the difficulties and challenges that I had in developing, implementing and evaluating tasks. Making good tasks is time-consuming, and meaningful judgments of task quality can only be made when student work is carefully analyzed.
