We present a computerized adaptive testing tool, termed DIA, for the assessment and provision of feedback to students from a formative evaluation perspective. We use Brazilian governmental guidelines for teaching mathematics (Brazil, 1998; Brazil, 1997) to construct a scale with goals increasingly ordered by the vertical development of mathematical knowledge. We construct a simulated item bank that meaningfully relates to our scale through the item response theory. We also analyze a feedback given by DIA.
