Recently, there have been many assessment researches in Korea. The aim of this study is to reflect on framework for mathematics assessment in RME which is based on Jan de Lange's assessment theory and to induce desirable directions for our mathematics assessment in nation-level and class-level. In order to attain these purposes, the present paper reflects the philosophy of RME, Jan de Lange's framework for mathematics assessment, assessment framework of the unit 'Side Seeing', one of Mathematics in Context textbook series, as an exemplar to which Jan de Lange's framework is applied. Based on these reflections, it is discussed that it needs to specify achievement standards presented in mathematics curriculum more particularly in order to have framework including mathematical abilities of level 2 and level 3 in Jan de Lange's framework appropriate to our situations, to apply the framework to nation-level and class-level consistently, and to enhance abilities of teachers and student teachers for mathematics assessment.
