Table A2. Mathematics Self Assessment: Survey Questions.

I’m confident that I can do an excellent job on my math tests.
I’m certain I can understand the most difficult material presented in my math textbooks.
I’m confident I can understand the most complex material presented by my math teacher.
I’m confident I can do an excellent job on my math assignments.
I’m certain I can master the skills being taught in my math class.

Note: These questions are based on a single survey stem that takes the form: “In your current or most recent math class, how often do/did the following statements apply to you?”, with response categories “almost never”, “sometimes”, “often”, “almost always.”A high self-assessment is associated with a higher numeric value.
