Within the conte�t of a �athe�atics refor� effort to i��le�ent algebra in ele�entary schools, there is �ressure to �rovide results in the for� of student achieve�ent scores. However, widely-used �easures of student achieve�ent �ay be unrelated to the ideas and instructional �ractices encouraged by the refor� effort. �he ina��ro�riate use of student achieve�ent scores often leads to inaccurate inferences about the quality of instruction. �his study e��lores the validity of inferences about instructional quality using two �easures of �athe�atics achieve�ent: a �easure of algebraic reasoning designed to closely relate to instructional activities and a �easure o� grade-level specific California content standards. �his e��loration includes �ulti�le �easures of classroo� instruction to evaluate the instructional sensitivity of �ulti�le �easures of �ath achieve�ent and a��lies an analytic �ethod that �akes it �ossible to relate student-level outco�es to teacher-level �easures of instruction. Findings suggest that �articular ite�s �easuring equality and relational thinking fro� the �easure of algebraic reasoning were sensitive to instruction. �he ability of these �easures to deter�ine the i��act of instruction on student per�or�ance depends on the variables that define students’ o��ortunities to learn and the characteristics of the student assess�ent ite�s. �hese factors should be considered when evaluating the relationshi� between instructional quality and student �erfor�ance. Instructional sensitivity �rovides a fra�ework to inter�ret student �erfor�ance by creating a link between instructional o��ortunities and �erfor�ance on �articular assess�ent ite�s.
