Lesson plans are important matters that have to be prepared before the learning begins. One of the plans is assessment in which it is used to acknowledge the students’ ability, inability, and needs at the moment. One problem faced by the teachers in conducting mathematics assessment is that they are not specifically assigned to teach students with special needs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to design and implement mathematics assessment for eight grade students in SMPN X Bandung. The method used for the study was a mixed research method of qualitative and quantitative with exploratory sequential design. Triangulation was used for qualitative method, while the quasi experiment technique was used for the quantitative method. Sampling technique used was purposive sampling with one class as a respondent consisting of 35 students (15 males and 20 females), where one of the students is special need student, autism.

Abstract:
The present proposal is based on the need to establish a methodology for the collection of data on environmental variables, which are not found online or in online databases. Another aspect is integrating the data into an expert system that allows flood prediction and is a source of information for a numerical model. The numerical model is the basis of the analysis because it includes hydrological and morphological variables for the prediction and simulation of the flood. This proposal is based on the fact that a research proposal that integrates these aspects according to the bibliographic review has not been found. The proposed model is geared towards using the Internet as a tool to support experts on specifically flood disasters.

Abstract:
N-party d-level quantum secret sharing has been investigated. The state has been controlled by the sender (the one who controls the protocol whom we call Alice) through local operations to regulate correlations of n-parties’ measurements. Leaking no information of secret to the dishonest party is preserved again by the presence of a hidden value announced by Alice until the last steps of the procedure.
