We all know that in good classroom practice
assessment is a natural by-product of the classroom experience and
should be a celebration of achievement. In using such activities as
investigations, projects or group work for assessment purposes a
criteria-based assessment is recommended that is defined from the
sub-tasks of the activity.
Communication
3 All necessary
steps of the solution have been well documented.
2 The
documentation of the solution is somewhat sparse, but adequate.
1 Documentation of
the solution is poor.
Presentation
3 The presentation
is a good record of the solution.
2 The solution
suffers somewhat from untidiness, disorganization, or poor use of
language. The presentation is a weak record of the solution.
1 The student has
made little effort to use appropriate language and has given little
thought to a neat and organized presentation of the solution. The
presentation is a poor record of the solution of the problem.
Mathematical Notation and Terminology
3 The student uses
correct and appropriate notation and terminology throughout.
2 The student
sometimes uses correct notation and terminology.
1 The student
consistently uses incorrect notation and/or terminology.
Content
3 A mathematical
strategy relevant to the activity has been correctly applied
throughout the solution.
2 A mathematical
strategy relevant to the activity has been applied with some
errors.
1 The strategy selected
is inappropriate to solving the problem.

Use of Technology
3 The use of the
technology is relevant to the solution, and enhances the solution
significantly.
2 Limited or
routine use of the technology is made with little enhancement to the
activity.
1 Technology is
used inappropriately, i.e., the student uses technology mainly for
procedures that can be done mentally or easily by hand.
Results
3 The calculations
are largely accurate.
2 The calculations
are somewhat accurate.
1 The calculations
are barely accurate.
Conclusions
3 The
reasonableness and/or possible limitations of the results have been
thoroughly considered.
2 A superficial
analysis of the reasonableness of the results is displayed.
1 Hardly any
consideration or evaluation of the results have been given.
Extensions
3 Awareness of the
implications of the solution and ways to expand upon the problem have
been considered.
2 Either awareness
of the implications of the solution or ways to expand upon the problem
have been considered.
1 Little
consideration to either of the above has been given.
Some of the above assessment criteria guidelines
are modified from the guidelines for portfolio and project work of the
International Baccalaureate Organization.
