Abstract
This paper examines the validationProof validation of a measure for eighth-grade students related to problem-solving. Prior work discussed validity evidence for the Problem-Solving Measure series, but it is uncertain whether linking items appropriately vertically equates the seventh- and eighth-grade measures. This research connects prior work to the development of linked measures with anchor items that assess problem solvingProblem solving within the frame of the Common Core in the United States. Results from RaschRasch modeling indicated that the items and overall measure functioned well, and all anchor items between assessments worked satisfactorily. Our conclusion is that performance on the eighth-grade measure can be linked with performance on the seventh-grade measure.
