Abstract	This article shares an assessment tool that uses student-written word problems to provide meaningful information regarding the depth of mathematical understanding. Students' word problems representing 6 [division] 1/2 were classified using the scoring categories described in the NAEP. By categorizing the problems, students' levels of understanding with regard to division by a fraction were revealed. Descriptions of the categories and sample student problems are included. (Contains 1 table and 8 figures.) (Author).
