Conceptual Understanding Processes & Strategies Verification Interpreting the concepts of the task and translating them into mathematics. The display of the work, both in the original approach and in the verification, shows the student's interpretation of the mathematics of the problem as well as the selection of appropriate data and rejection of irrelevant information. Choosing strategies that can work, and then carrying out the strategies chosen. The first approach to the task, combined with the work in verification shows the strength of the processes and strategies chosen. In addition to solving the task, identifiable evidence of a second look at the concepts/ strategies/ calculations to defend a solution. The evidence of as econd look at the problem (often by working the task a second time - either from the same perspective or a new one), reviews the mathematical ideas, strategies, calculations, and a solution. The process of this review is scored here, not the correctness of the solution - which is scored in accuracy. Communication Accuracy Using pictures, symbols, and/or vocabulary to convey the path to the identified solution. The work shows how the concepts, strategies, and verification lead to a solution. Restating the problem is not expected. A connecting path ties together the main ideas of the problem, without requiring extensive writing skills. The mathematically justifiable solution needs to be supported by the work, without evidence of additional instruction in key concepts being needed.
