Other Work Samples for:

Darcy has demonstrated a limited level of competence in using coordinates to represent and describe the position of objects on a map. A simple classroom map has been drawn and a key has been provided. Coordinates have been used to label the axes but the labelling is not in the usual position on the map. The locations of some items in the classroom have been correctly identified using coordinates but there are some inaccuracies in the use of the x and y axes to identify position. Basic positional language has been used but the directions between points on the map could be clearer. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade D standard midway through Stage 2.

Grade D

Foundation Statement strands

The following strands are covered in this activity:

  • Working Mathematically
    Students ask questions and use appropriate mental or written strategies, and technology, to solve problems. They use appropriate terminology to describe and link mathematical ideas, check statements for accuracy and explain reasoning.
  • Space and Geometry
    Students name, describe and sketch particular 3D objects and 2D shapes. They compare angles using informal means and describe a 'right angle'. Students use coordinates to describe position and compass points to give and follow directions.
