Problem Solving / Algebraic Equa.
	Advanced 4 pts	Proficient 3 pts	Basic 2 pts	Below Basic 1 pts
Organization Organization of processes involved in solving the problem.	Advanced Logical order to mathematical process. Well organized with all work presented clearly and completely using illustrations, graphing, and/or examples in response.	Proficient The mathematical process is overall logical, but at least one mistake is evident in the work. Organized but with few illustrations, graphs, and/or examples in response.	Basic The mathematical process is somewhat organized, but some of the work is missing and/or is out of order. Unclear illustrations, graphs, and/or examples in response.	Below Basic The mathematical process does not appear to be organized. No illustrations, graphs, and/or examples in response.
Accuracy Math computation and use of correct math skills required in solving the problem.	Advanced Math is completely accurate, and work demonstrates a thorough understanding of the processes, skills, and mathematical ideas.	Proficient Math is overall correct, but there may be some computational errors. Work demonstrates an understanding of the mathematical skills and ideas.	Basic Math is incorrect in several places and there are many computational errors. Work demonstrates an understanding of the mathematical skills necessary.	Below Basic Math is done incorrectly and demonstrates a lack of understanding of mathematical skills necessary.
Depth of Knowledge Understanding of mathematical concepts required in solving the problem.	Advanced No major errors or flaws in reasoning and goes beyond what the specific question is asking. Work demonstrates a thorough understanding of the concepts.	Proficient The student demonstrates a near complete understanding of concepts.	Basic Demonstrates an incomplete understanding of concepts.	Below Basic Demonstrates a lack of understanding of mathematical concepts.
Vocabulary Knowledge and use of the mathematical concept vocabulary.	Advanced Constant use of unit or concept vocabulary in response.	Proficient Frequent use of unit or concept vocabulary in response.	Basic Inappropriate or little use of unit or concept vocabulary in response.	Below Basic No use of unit or concept vocabulary in response.
Literacy Describe in detail how the solution was found.	Advanced Student writes in complete sentences, grammatical and spelling errors are minimal, and the writing is very easy to follow.	Proficient Student writes in complete sentences, but there are a few spelling and grammatical errors. The writing is overall understandable.	Basic Student writes in complete sentences, but there are many grammar and spelling errors that make the writing difficult to understand.	Below Basic Student does not use complete sentences, correct grammar, or correct spelling. Writing is difficult to understand.
