Draw the Graph to Fit the Story - Kendall : Grade Commentary
Kendall has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the relationship between variables in graphs. Trends have been correctly shown but dependent and independent variables have not been identified in each case. The linear graphs are correct but the attempt at a non-linear graph is incorrect. The chosen ‘story’ for the last graph is not entirely appropriate and there has been no consideration of asymptotes. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C5 standard at the end of Stage 5.
