The curriculum for students of different levels is a main issue in the 7th curriculum reform in Korea. To increase educational efficiency in mathematics education the reform was adopted by the Education Board. In the curriculum for different students` levels, the mathematics curriculum should be divided with several different levels for learner-centered class management. There are three types of the curriculum construction, a make-up style, a grade style, and a step style. An assessment of the curriculum should keep the nature of validity, reliability, discrimination, and comprehension. Thus, in this curriculum environment, we should use qualitative rather than quantitative methods. That is, we must focus on the students` total behaviors through observation, monitoring, interview, project, and self-evaluation. This new type of assessment will give us a new direction for assessing mathematics achievement tests in Korea.
