Amount of Work:Participation in group work, class work, and independent problem solving

Facilitates group discussion, asks several questions, looks for questions that need clarification, challenges other students work with reason, completes all problems

Participates in group discussion, asks some questions, looks for questions that need clarification, challenges other students work with reason, completes most problems

Student made a partial attempt in group discussion, gave only answers, asked few questions, does not challenge other students work with reason, completes minimal problems

Student did not attempt any group discussion, did not ask any probing questions, did not attempt assignment, no participation, did not complete assignment

Illustration: student comprehends problems and show steps, diagrams, or other forms of solving problems

Student is able to clearly recreate problems, showed what they have learned, showed detailed thought process, and is able to connect to the material, fluent.

Student is able to recreate problems, showed what they have learned, showed the thought process, and is able to connect to the material but is not yet fluent.

Student has roughly tried to recreate problems and there is an idea to what the student has learned though it is not clear. Showed thought process but has no connection to material.

Student has not attempted to recreate any problems; there is no clear picture of what the student has learned; no connection to material.

Understanding: student has an understanding of topics, can identify key elements, and demonstrates knowledge

Student has a great understanding of topics, completely identified key elements, solved using different methods, and achieved correct answers with minimal errors.

Student has understanding of topics, identified most key elements, solved using different methods, and achieved correct answers with some errors.

Student has some understandings of topics, can identify some key elements but is unable to create the correct equation, can see the path to solving, lots of errors

Student has no understanding of topics, cannot identify key elements, no demonstration of understanding

Calculation: student can show step by step how in the correct order to achieve an answer

Students calculations are in correct order, showed thorough thought process, is able to explain all steps, achieved correct answers with minimal errors.

Students calculations are in correct order, showed thought process, achieved correct answers with some errors.

Student’s calculations are not in logical order, did not achieve correct answers but is showing some form of framework that can be improved upon

Student’s calculations are confusing, out of order, and shows scattered thought process or student did not show calculations, only answers.

Explanation: Student is articulate and can clarify in complete sentences how they solve problems

Student spoke 4+ times in group assignment, sentences are complete and thoughtful, used all relevant math vocabulary, able to articulate to peers what they have learned, very cohesive

Student spoke 2-3 times in group assignment, sentences are complete and make sense, able to convey their process in problem solving, used math vocabulary, but is missing elements of cohesiveness

Student spoke 1-2 times in group assignment, has difficulty explaining work or reasoning the work of group members, did not use math vocabulary, minimal explanation.

Students did not speak in group assignment, did not attempt assignment, did not contain math vocabulary, no explanation at all.
