Mathematical communication competence is a core component of mathematical competence, helping students to receive, construct, and express mathematical thinking effectively and accurately. However, in reality, primary school teachers still have difficulty in assessing students' mathematical communication competence, including 5th graders, leading to an ineffective impact on the teaching process to develop students' mathematical communication competence. Based on the understanding of theories of mathematical communication competence and the requirements presented in the 2018 National Mathematics Education Curriculum, this article presents a rubric for assessing mathematical communication competence in grade 5 students. This assessment tool is designed to help teachers accurately assess the mathematical communication competence of grade 5 students.
