Always uses correct math vocabulary to explain or describe math problems or situations Is always able to represent math problems using many multiple representations, i.e. symbols, numbers, charts, graphs, tables, pictures, manipulatives and equations. Always keeps a notebook where notes, homework and returned assignments are kept in an orderly manner. Can always put their finger on any assignment you request. Always completes homework/class work accurately and on time. Consistently scores above class average. Work is always complete, neat and on time. Always willing to ask questions when needed. Independent learner. Engages w/minimal or little direction from teacher. Seeks and enjoys a challenge and regularly completes classroom tasks in this specific subject area with authentic engagement with minimal or little direction from the teacher. Never complains when given a higher order thinking problem. High internal/low external motivation. Is very confident in math class. Very strong computational skills. Needs very few reminders, but if reminded can recall quickly.

1
Rarely discusses math topics and rarely uses mathematical vocabulary. Does not represent problems using any method other than that used by others or the teacher or does not represent problems at all. Relies primarily on memorizing algorithms. Does not keep track of notes, homework and returned assignments. Frequently is unable to find work.

Sometimes completes homework/class work on time. Grades sometimes fall below class average. Never willing to ask questions when needed.

Needs extra teacher direction. Not motivated. Completes tasks in a way that meets expectations for the class; even when directed by the teacher the student produces work that meets minimum expectations.
