Abstract	This bulletin focuses on three developments related to evaluation. First, the plans and initial work of the Mathematical Sciences Education Board, formed in 1985, are described. The Board's goals, its view of the major challenges in mathematics education facing the nation's schools, and its plans are discussed. The development of a design for studying the impact of testing on mathematics education is then described. The second section of the bulletin provides an overview of a revised publication on evaluation in the mathematics classroom, available from ERIC/SMEAC ("Evaluation in the Mathematics Classroom," published first in 1974). What is included in the publication is noted, with several illustrative examples. A second publication with similar goals ("Mathematics Assessment for the Classroom Teacher," developed by the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics) is also described. In the third section of the bulletin, the need to evaluate mathematical problem solving more effectively is considered. Procedures that can be used in addition to paper-and-pencil measures are listed. Finally, several tests that attempt to assess mathematical problem solving processes are cited, with examples. Sixteen references are listed. (MNS)
