Assessments FOR learning should be ongoing and actionable in the classroom as you teach. This should give you a real idea of how a learner is progressing and understanding the material.

Assessments AS learning involves students actively in the process of learning. These help to engage students.

“Students develop an interest in mathematical tasks that they understand, see as relevant to their own concerns, and can manage. Recent studies of students’ emotional responses to mathematics suggest that both their positive and their negative responses diminish as tasks become familiar and increase when tasks are novel” Douglas B. McLeod

Measures how well students apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities to authentic problems

Are selected collections of a variety of performance-based work. It might include selections of work that are the student's "best work" and others that show the "works in progress". May include various performance-based pieces.

It requires students to actively demonstrate what they know instead of guessing or relying on a memorized piece of information. Performance assessments may be a more valid indicator of students' knowledge and abilities.

Requires a public presentation of the skills and knowledge acquired. Often for sciences or performing arts.

This type of performance assessment can also be included in a traditional exam that also has multiple choice questions. A combination of the two forms of assessment is ok.
