Grading Criteria

These are the descriptors for a project that will be graded as proficient in each category:

Communication

I have completed all parts of this project.
My project can be read independently of the instructions.
My project has a title page with my name, a title for the project, a sentence desribing the objective of the project and perhaps a relevant image.
I have used text, diagrams and space to effectively communicate the calculations
It is evident that have thought of the reader when structuring each page. That is, the elements (text, diagrams) of each page are placed in an order that makes sense to the reader.
I have used correct math notation.
I have used correct math vocabulary.
My math is written clearly. When there is more than one line in a single calculation, my ‘=’ signs are lined up.
I have written my math by hand or I have used a math-type tool on MS word/Equatio etc.

Reasoning

I have demonstrated understanding of each part of the project.
My lines of work record each step in the calculations clearly, one step at a time.
My writing (including text/diagrams) is sufficient to demonstrate my understanding.

Project work can also be graded as extending. In which case, the elements in the table below may be present in your work. Alternatively, you may have advanced your learning significantly in another way that represents the curricular competencies, in which case your grade will reflect that learning.

Communication	Creative, insightful use of colour/text/diagrams to explain results/ generalisations.
Reasoning	Sophisticated understanding of patterns/relations present in the project. Results may be explained using a generalisation expressed algebraically and verified numerically.
