Type: conference-paper
Abstract: To measure whether and to what extent pupils know mathematics is complicated. The test situation will influence the pupils' work and in addition there are aspects of knowing mathematics that are difficult for a written test to assess. Since the early 1990s, Norwegian pupils undergo a local oral examination at the end of the ten-year compulsory school. Rules and guidelines for this examination has developed over time in accordance with curriculum changes. According to the 1992 national guidelines, the examination has to be based on the pupils' project work or similar. In addition, pu-pils' creativity and imagination is highlighted. The 2014 national rules are different, the only thing here that a written test cannot reveal, is skills in mental calculation.
