Criterion C: Communication
Level Level Descriptor This Project: Percentage
5 6 The student shows good use of
mathematical language and forms of
mathematical representation. The lines of
reasoning are concise, logical and
complete. The student moves effectively
between different forms of representation.
All questions are answered fully, well thought out, and well explained. Multiple
solutions are presented with a variety of situations and problems taken into
account.

Answers make sense and are clear. Mathematical work is done correctly, work
is shown, steps are easy to follow.

Student explains correctly what the answers to mathematical calculations mean
in terms of real world situation, and the effects on the particular country.
6: 96 100%

5: 90 95%
3 4 The student shows sufficient use of
mathematical language and forms of
mathematical representation.
The lines of reasoning are clear though
not always logical or complete. The
student moves between different forms of
representation with some success.
All questions are answered fully and thoughtfully. May not always be clear.
More than one situations is taken into account and problem solution presented.

Answers make sense and are mostly clear. Mathematical work is done mostly
correctly with minimal errors (minor errors that are not major process errors).
Steps are shown.

Student explains briefly what the answers to mathematical calculations mean
and the effects on the particular country.

4: 80 89%

3: 70 79%
1 2 The student shows basic use of
mathematical language and/or forms of
mathematical representation.
The lines of reasoning are difficult to
follow.
Questions are answered briefly but do not include a lot of thought or effort.
Answers are unclear or too brief to fully answer the question. Only one idea is
presented for a solution to the problem.

Answers do not always make sense. Mathematical work has many errors, or
large process errors. Steps are not always shown or steps are skipped.

Student cannot provide adequate explanation of mathematical calculations and
real life application.

2: 60 69%

1: <59%
0 The student does not reach a standard
