Sažetak

Mathematics communications skills are essential to learning and understanding mathematics. Objective of assessing mathematical communication is to evaluate how students use mathematical language, ask questions and elaborate answers, use mathematical symbols, and read algorithms, alternate between data representations, and apply technology. One of many arising questions, due to this matter, are methods most suitable for investigation of students’ achievements in using apt mathematical language. The aim of this paper is to investigate weather (mathematical) expository essay is appropriate method for assessing mathematical communication. The literature analysis showed that it is possible to investigate each integral part presumed by mathematical communication as an assessment element, hence authors advocate mathematical essay as an appropriate method for assessing mathematical communication. The authors suggested framework for assessing students’ mathematical essays across five levels of expertise. In assessment frame a special emphasis was put on mathematical communication and framework for writing mathematical essay, considering structural and substantive components.
