The research aimed at identifying the reality of math teachers' use of alternative evaluation tools at the elementary level and to achieve the research objective. The researcher used the prescriptive curriculum. The researcher selected the sample study from all the primary mathematics teachers and teachers at the Directorate of Education of Misan governorate. (30) teachers and (30) teachers, the researcher designed the resolution study tools, consisting of (31) A five-pronged paragraph for which honesty and consistency transactions were performed, and which reached the persistence factor (0.84) A high persistence factor that meets the study's purposes, the researcher used several statistical methods to achieve the research objectives: Equivalent of alpha-Crewe plants, percentage, repetitions, weighted medium, percentage weight, test (T) for two independent samples. The following findings were found by the researcher: the overall average use of alternative calendar tools by mathematics teachers was 2.26, indicating an average level. If the field of achievement files (Portfolio) was first among the other instruments, he reached the weighted middle of it. (2.36) The researcher has made a series of recommendations, including: The need to disseminate the culture of alternative evaluation among teachers, learners and parents of pupils, and to train teachers in alternative evaluation tools to effectively employ them in the evaluation of learners.
