Other Work Samples for:
Lee has used sound algebraic knowledge to represent the difference between two numbers and create simple subtraction stories. Appropriate strategies have been selected and illustrated using diagrams. The recording of numerical expressions is accurate. Lee has related the pictures to the number sentences and has used one repeated example. There is evidence of adequate recall and application of knowledge, but the opportunity to demonstrate multi-step or higher order thinking in the extension activity has not been taken. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard at the end of Stage 1.
Grade C
The student has a sound knowledge and understanding of the main areas of content and has achieved an adequate level of competence in the processes and skills.Foundation Statement strands
The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Working Mathematically
Students ask questions and use objects, diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems. They link mathematical ideas and use everyday language, some mathematical language and diagrams to explain how answers were obtained. - Number
Students count, order, read and write numbers up to 999 and use a range of mental strategies, informal recording methods and materials to add, subtract, multiply and divide. They model and describe objects and collections divided into halves and quarters. Students sort, order and count money and recognise and describe the element of chance in familiar activities. - Patterns and Algebra
Students describe, create and continue a variety of number patterns and relate addition and subtraction facts to at least 20.
