Descripción:This article attempts to answer the following question: How to evaluate students in a summative way when they solve Geometry problems? and intends to explore the ideas of some researchers at international level who contribute inputs to an evaluation proposal in accordance with the MEP (2012). The process to achieve the above was a bibliographic investigation, through which articles with solid theoretical backing were selected that simultaneously addressed three topics: Geometry, problem solving and evaluation of learning, using similarities with the discrimination criteria theoretical foundation of the Costa Rican Mathematics programs and excluding those texts that did not offer concrete examples of their theoretical proposals. For the analysis of the information, it was organized in a deductive way, starting from the general elements of the evaluation in Mathematical Education until the proposals for specific topics of the Geometry area. Among the most outstanding findings are that the international community is conducting research in this field and has resorted to techniques such as focus group, HTE analysis, expert judgment and cognitive interview, to validate the tools generated among which are the rubrics, items of multiple selection and constructed response, on topics such as spatial visualization, decomposition and composition of figures. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that the mathematical processes must be included in the instruments to evaluate the students’ knowledge, because they allow to approximate the competences related to Mathematics.
