Better measures lead to better evidence for decision-making in education.

The Practical Measures, Routines & Representations (PMR²) Whole Class Discussion Survey is a short student survey to gather quick feedback about what happens during a whole-class discussion in mathematics. It is part of the PMR² suite of tools developed by researchers to support continuous instructional improvement, not formal teacher evaluation.

The Small Group Work Survey is a short student survey used to understand how small-group activities are working during math lessons. It is part of the broader PMR suite of practical measurement tools designed to support continuous instructional improvement, not formal evaluation. The survey is typically given at the end of a lesson where students worked in groups.

The Teaching for a Robust Understanding (TRU) Mathematics framework is an observation and reflection tool used to examine the key dimensions of high-quality mathematics instruction. It identifies five areas that shape strong learning environments: the richness of the mathematical content, opportunities for students to engage in meaningful thinking, equitable access to that thinking, agency and identity development, and the quality of teacher–student interactions.

The Practical Measures, Routines & Representations (PMR²) Task Analysis Tool is an observation and planning tool used to examine the level of cognitive rigor built into a mathematics task before it is taught. It helps teachers and instructional teams look closely at what students must actually think and do to complete a task successfully. The tool sorts tasks into three categories—Using Procedures, Making Sense of Procedures, and Problem Solving—based on how much reasoning, explanation, and analysis the task requires.
