Other Work Samples for:
Pat has demonstrated a high level of competence in using the four operations to express numbers in different ways. A wide variety of solutions has been provided, and the numbers used vary in complexity. Multi-step problems have been included and most of the examples are accurate. The response could be strengthened by the use of fractions and decimals to show a higher level of skills. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard midway through Stage 3.
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 undertake investigations, selecting appropriate technological applications and problem-solving strategies. They use mathematical terminology and some conventions and they give valid reasons when comparing and selecting from possible solutions, making connections with existing knowledge and understanding. - Number
Students read, write and order numbers of any size, selecting and applying appropriate mental, written or calculator strategies for the four operations. They compare, order and perform calculations with simple fractions, decimals and simple percentages and apply the four operations to money in real-life situations. Students place the likelihood of simple events in order on a number line from 0 to 1.
