Midpoint - Terry : Grade Commentary
Terry has demonstrated a limited level of competence in using the midpoint formula to solve a mathematical problem. The formula has been incorrectly stated but basic knowledge of coordinate geometry has been displayed in the accurate labelling of axes and the plotting of the given point. Terry has recognised that there are several solutions but has not provided the endpoints for these. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade D4 standard at the end of Stage 5.
