Mathematical Concepts

Explanation shows complete understanding of the mathematical concepts, including solving the more advanced challenges in Figure This! and the alternative dice.

Explanation shows substantial understanding of the mathematical concepts. Can generate the appropriate frequency charts for regular dice.

Explanation shows some understanding of probability and frequency. May have some difficulty generating frequency charts.

Explanation shows very limited understanding of the underlying concepts of probability and frequency.

Mathematical Reasoning

Uses complex and refined mathematical reasoning. Specifically the student recognizes the reasons behind the frequency distribution patterns and can extend this logic to more than 2 dice.

Uses effective mathematical reasoning. Student understands most of the probability patterns but may not be able to extend and apply this reasoning to new situations.

Some evidence of mathematical reasoning but student does not demonstrate full mastery of the logic behind the probability charts.

Little evidence of mathematical reasoning.

Explanation

Explanation is detailed and clear. It includes the proper use of terminology.

Explanation is clear. but lack the precise use of terminology.

Explanation is a little difficult to understand, but includes critical components.

Explanation is difficult to understand and is missing several components OR was not included.

Neatness and Organization

The work is presented in a neat, clear, organized fashion that is easy to read, including all charts.

The work is presented in a neat and organized fashion that is usually easy to read.

The work is presented in an organized fashion but may be hard to read at times.

The work appears sloppy and unorganized. It is hard to know what information goes together.

Strategy/Procedures

Typically, uses an efficient and effective strategy to solve the problem(s).

Typically, uses an effective strategy to solve the problem(s).

Sometimes uses an effective strategy to solve problems, but does not do it consistently.

Rarely uses an effective strategy to solve problems.
