Progress in grade eight.

Note: The forms are not identical to the ones we created--the lines bunch up and I don't have time to make them exact. If you would like me to email an attachment copy, just click here. The forms are in Microsoft Excel for Office 98; the power write form is in MS Word.

 


Holistic Scoring Rubric:

This sheet is used for end of lesson evaluations. Note that some components overlap into other criteria sections, but are only scored once. A score for one or more criteria can be computed.

GRADE:

out of 100

*Understanding/making sense means that I am learning to:

A-make observations about mathematical relationships

B-discover own strategies and solutions.

C-discover more than one way to solve a problem.

D-provide examples and/or counter-examples to show ideas.

E-think deeply with creative insights:

i-make, describe, and try conjectures (suggestions on ways to solve a problem).

ii-make generalizations from conjecturing and trying (ways to solve similar problems in similar ways).

iii-make connections to math discussions, other subjects, and the real world.

iv-ask "What if?" or state "I wonder..." queries.

F-reflect on and describe learning and growth, strengths, needs:

i-AHA's
ii-joys
iii-frustrations
iv-disequilibrium
