Abstract
Assessment practices are an integral part of schooling. The prominence of assessment within schooling in providing information to students and teachers about students' "ability" in learning school subjects, raises an important question: what sort of influence do assessment practices have on how school subjects are perceived by students and teachers? This dissertation focuses on two themes - the way in which assessment practices construct school mathematics, and the way in which these constructions of school mathematics work dynamically with assessment practices to produce descriptions of students.
