Abstract: This study describes the design, construction and validation of a rubric for assessing mathematical modelling processes throughout schooling (3–18 years), especially those oriented by modelling cycles. The final version of the “Rubric for Evaluating Mathematical Modelling Processes” (REMMP) consists of seven elements with their respective performance criteria or items, corresponding to the different phases of a modelling cycle. We concluded that REMMP can be used by both researchers and teachers at different educational levels from kindergarten to high school. The rubric is designed to assess group work developed by students; however, it can eventually be used individually.
