Midpoint - Kerry : Grade Commentary
Kerry has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in using the midpoint formula to solve a mathematical problem. The midpoint formula has been correctly stated but it has not been used to verify the solution. An appropriate diagram has been used and Kerry has recognised that there is more than one possible solution but only one solution has been provided. Deductive reasoning has been used but no generalisation has been made and an algebraic solution has not been provided. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C6 standard at the end of Stage 5.
