Sample computer-based tasks from World Class Tests
This is a selection of computer-based assesment tasks from the "Problem Solving in Mathematics, Science and Technology" strand of the World Class Arena project. These are provided to accompany the paper by Hugh Burkhardt and Daniel Pead in the book Whither Assessment (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority 2003, UK).

Students watch an animation and sketch a speed/time graph opn paper. An earlier version which provided a 'jigsaw' graph to assemble on-screen proved far too easy.
To try the tasks you will need Flash Player 6 (or later) installed - if you do not already have this it can be downloaded for free from www.adobe.com.
