Your child may have a number- instead of a letter- written on top of a graded math paper. Read below to see what the numbers mean.

2 The response demonstrates a complete understanding and analysis of a problem. * Application of a reasonable strategy in the context of the problem is indicated. * Explanation of and/or justification for the mathematical process(es) used to solve a problem is clear, developed, and logical. * Connections and/or extensions made within mathematics or outside of mathematics are clear. * Supportive information and/or numbers are provided as appropriate.

1 The response demonstrates a minimal understanding and analysis of a problem. * Partial application of a strategy in the context of the problem is indicated. * Explanation of and/or justification for the mathematical process(es) used to solve a problem is partially developed, logically flawed, or missing. * Connections and/or extensions made within mathematics or outside of mathematics are partial or overly general, or flawed. * Supportive information and/or numbers may or may not be provided as appropriate.

0 The response is completely incorrect, irrelevant to the problem, or missing.

Notes:
* Explanation refers to students' ability to communicate how they arrived at the solution for an item using the language of mathematics. * Justification refers to students' ability to support the reasoning used to solve a problem, or to demonstrate why the solution is correct using mathematical concepts and principles. * Students need to complete rubric criteria for explanation, justification, connections and/or extensions as cued for in a given problem. * Merely an exact copy or paraphrase of the problem will receive a score of "0".
