    Individual, diagnosis-guided support for learners is one of the most important factors in understanding mathematics and learning efficiently. Especially in the field of algebra many students often still lack basic competencies to handle variables, algebraic expressions and equations in a proper way. Digitally supported diagnostic systems offer the possibility to perform a deep understanding-oriented diagnosis with little time. This is the aim of the Australian SMART-system (Specific Mathematics Assessments that Reveal Thinking (Stacey et al., 2018)), which is currently being adapted for use in German-speaking countries. SMARTA is a twofold project to investigate the effects on students’ understanding of algebra and on teachers’ insight into formative assessment in the field of algebra.
