Find sources that describe the following types of assessment, sorted into categories by different principles. Critique sources and assessment types in a blog post and/or screencast. Which types would you use and why?

Pick up math tasks for each of Bloom's levels. You can use your previous class work as examples or make up new ones. For each task, briefly describe two assessment types you would use. You can link other people's explanation of the assessment technique instead of the description.
If a task encompasses many levels (for example, most projects and unit studies do), use two assessment ideas per level.

Using the list of mathematical entities you created in the second week, Task 2-2, design student activities that call for students creating three of such entities. How will you assess these Creating level tasks?6-3
Open a math textbook of your choice, preferably one you have used or
will be using with your students. Analyze a chapter from it
according to Bloom's task levels. How is the level balance for your
taste? Does assessment focus on all task levels appropriately?

In Week 7, I added the following option to two of the three content tasks: "You can focus on task design and/or assessment in your comments." This differentiates the tasks more, allowing different foci and different amount of work.
