Abstract: Modelling is now being given prominence as one of the six high school subject areas in the Standards for Mathematical Content in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics(CCSSM). The CCSSM document suggest that mathematical modelling should not be taught as an isolated topic but instead should be employed along with other topics. The essence of a mathematical modelling problem is constructing a mathematical model for the situation at hand. Assessing mathematical modelling is a new field that requires more study. Developing more tools and ideas to assess modelling tasks is essential and beneficial for mathematics teachers. Rubrics that assess the modelling process are a good beginning in finding suitable methods of assessing mathematical modelling. This article provides two methods for assessing mathematical modelling tasks. The first is a scoring rubric that is based on the process of CCSSM's modelling cycle while the second instrument intends to assess the affective domain of mathematical reasoning.
