Other Work Samples for:
Ainsley has demonstrated a limited level of competence in creating, continuing and recording patterns for two of the four operations. All the patterns use simple addition and the strategies are repetitive. An attempt to use multiplication has been made but the pattern is actually based on addition. Basic explanations of the patterns have been provided. To improve, Ainsley could include more complex and varied number patterns using subtraction, multiplication and division. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade D standard midway through Stage 2.
Grade D
The student has a basic knowledge and understanding of the content and has achieved a limited 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 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. - Patterns and Algebra
Students generate, describe and record number patterns and relate multiplication and division facts to at least 10 x 10.
