Jessie has demonstrated a high 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 labelled using coordinates. A key has not been provided but the objects have been labelled to assist the reader. The locations of items in the classroom have been correctly identified using coordinates, and clear directions between objects on the map have been provided although minimal positional language has been used. To improve, Jessie could strengthen the instructions by providing more detail and using more positional language. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard midway through Stage 2.
Grade B
The student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills. In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.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.
