Mathematics Assessment Rubrics

Mathematical Knowledge
Mathematical Strategies
Mathematical Communication

  • Ability to use conceptual and procedural knowledge which results in a correct solution to a problem
  • Ability to interpret a problem, identify relevant information, and select a solution strategy
  • Ability to use mathematical language and representations to explain the solution process

Distinguished ..... 4

  • shows complete understanding of a problem's mathematical concepts and procedures
  • performs algorithms completely and correctly
  • always uses appropriate mathematical notation (i.e., labels answers)
  • identifies all relevant information and shows complete understanding
  • selects a creative and efficient strategy for solving the problem
  • shows clear evidence of a complete and systematic solution process
  • gives an elaborate and effective explanation of the solution process
  • succinctly explains "solution" to others
  • uses precise mathematical language

Proficient ..... 3

  • shows nearly complete understanding of a problem's mathematical concepts and procedures
  • performs algorithms completely; computations may contain minor errors
  • often uses appropriate mathematical notation
  • identifies most relevant information and shows a general understanding
  • selects an appropriate strategy for solving the problem
  • shows some evidence of a systematic solution process
  • gives an effective explanation of the solution process
  • uses appropriate mathematical language

Apprentice ..... 2

  • shows some understanding of a problem's mathematical concepts and procedures
  • performs algorithms that may contain major computational errors
  • seldom uses appropriate mathematical notation
  • identifies some relevant information and shows limited understanding
  • selects a strategy but unable to effectively arrive at a solution
  • shows little evidence of a systematic solution process
  • gives some explanation of the solution process but may be vague or difficult to interpret
  • uses some mathematical language appropriately

Novice ..... 1

  • shows limited or no understanding of a problem's mathematical concepts and procedures
  • performs algorithms that may contain major computational errors
  • misuses or omits appropriate mathematical notation
  • identifies little or no relevant information
  • selects an inappropriate strategy for solving the problem
  • shows no evidence of a systematic solution process
  • provides minimal explanation of solution process; may fail to explain or may omit significant parts of the problem
  • does not use mathematical language or uses it inappropriately

No Attempt ..... 0

  • no answer attempted
  • no apparent strategy
  • no explanation of the solution process is provided
