Criterion C: Communication

Level Descriptors Task specific criteria 1-2 I use basic mathematical language (notation, symbols, vocabulary) I have used basic terms but have not always used mean, and/or ways of representing mathematical ideas (formulae, diagrams, median, mode, horizontal axis, vertical axis, independent variable, dependent variable and scale correctly. tables, charts, graphs, models). My reasoning is difficult to follow. The steps in the process of constructing and analyzing a bar chart are not in logical order. There are diagrams/graphics included but they do not help to illustrate the process of creating a bar chart. The layout of the document (TimeToast) does not flow very well. 3-4 I use sufficient mathematical language (notation, symbols, vocabulary) and ways of representing mathematical ideas (formulae, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, models). My reasoning is clear but not always logical or complete. I move between different forms of representation with some success. The diagrams/graphics included to illustrate/represent each step in the process are placed appropriately most of the time or there could have been more diagrams included. I have used the terms mean, median, mode, horizontal axis, vertical axis, independent variable, dependent variable and scale sufficiently. The steps in the process of constructing and analyzing a bar chart are mostly in logical order. The layout of the document (TimeToast) is fairly clean and flows fairly well. 5-6 I use good mathematical language (notation, symbols, vocabulary) and ways of representing mathematical ideas (formulae, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, models). My reasoning is to the point, logical and complete. I move effectively between different forms of representation. I have used the terms mean, median, mode, horizontal axis, vertical axis, independent variable, dependent variable and scale correctly. The steps in the process of constructing and analyzing a bar chart are in logical order. The diagrams/graphics included to illustrate/represent each step in the process are placed appropriately.
