This book aims at describing pathways and achievements of the LLP Comenius Project "FAMT&L - Formative Assessment in mathematics for teaching and learning". The main purpose of this research project was to encourage the use of formative assessment in the teaching-learning process carried out by mathematics teachers in lower secondary school. The five partner universities involved in the Project have been the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna (Italy), the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (Southern Switzerland), the University of Cergy-Pontoise (France), the University of Cyprus, and the
Hogeschool Inholland (Netherlands).
Through the voices of the several actors involved in this project, the book wants to contribute to the international debate on issues regarding teachers' professionalism in the European school systems: specifically, on the development of the professional skills of teachers in the field of assessment practices and on the use of formative assessment in the classroom.

Federica Ferretti, PhD in Mathematics Education, is Researcher in Mathematics Education at the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, Faculty of Education. Her main research interests concern the Didactic Contract at all school levels, formative assessment in mathematics and formative use of standardized assessments. For years she has been involved in mathematics teachers professional development. She is member of CRESPI Center.

Paraskevi Michael-Chrysanthou is a member of the Special Teaching Staff of the Department of Education at the University of Cyprus (2011-2017). She was a Research Associate in the program of the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation "The role of representation in learning functions and geometry in the context of the shift from lower secondary education (gymnasium) to upper secondary education (lyceum)" and in the Research Program of the University of Cyprus "Spatial Ability and Geometrical Thinking Development". She also participated in the project "History of Mathematics Education in Cyprus 1878-1960" of the Centre of Scientific Research of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Ira Vannini, Associate professor of Educational Research at the Department of Education "Giovanni Maria Bertin" of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. Her research activities (also in collaboration with CRESPI-Center of Research on teacher professionalism) are focused on topics such as formative evaluation research and curricular planning; studies on teacher training with the use of technics of video-analysis in classroom; use of formative assessment and classroom observation.
