Fractions	Advanced All fractions represent part of a day. No fraction represents a time shorter than one-half hour. All fractions are simplified to lowest terms.	Proficient Most fractions represent part of a day. No fraction represents a time shorter than one-half hour. Most fractions are simplified to lowest terms.	Basic Some fractions represent part of a day. At least one fraction represents a time shorter than one-half hour. Some fractions are simplified to lowest terms.	Below Basic None of the fractions represent part of a day. Fractions are not simplified to lowest terms.
Decimals	Advanced All decimals are correctly converted from the fractions. All decimals have been correctly rounded to the thousandths place.	Proficient Most decimals are correctly converted from the fractions. Most decimals have been correctly rounded to the thousandths place.	Basic Some decimals are correctly converted from the fractions. Some decimals have been correctly rounded to the thousandths place.	Below Basic None of the decimals are correctly converted from the fractions. No decimals have been correctly rounded to the thousandths place.
Percents	Advanced All percents are correctly converted from the decimals. All percents have been rounded correctly to the tenths place. All percents include a percent sign.	Proficient Most percents are correctly converted from the decimals. Most percents have been rounded correctly to the tenths place. Most percents include a percent sign.	Basic Some percents are correctly converted from the decimals. Some percents have been rounded correctly to the tenths place. Some percents include a percent sign.	Below Basic None of the percents are correctly converted from the decimals. None of the percents have been rounded correctly to the tenths place. No percents include a percent sign.
Angles	Advanced All central angles have been constructed accurately within the circle graph.	Proficient Most central angles have been constructed accurately within the circle graph	Basic Some central angles have been constructed accurately within the circle graph	Below Basic None of the central angles have been constructed accurately within the circle graph
Labels and Title	Advanced Title is appropriate to the topic of the graph. All areas of the graph are labeled and well defined including each sector in the circle.	Proficient Title is appropriate to the topic of the graph. Most areas of the graph are labeled and well defined including each sector in the circle.	Basic Title is somewhat appropriate to the topic of the graph. Some areas of the graph are labeled and well defined including each sector in the circle.	Below Basic Title is missing or inappropriate. Little or no labeling.
Visual Appearance	Advanced Color is used in a meaningful way. The graph, key, title and labels are arranged appropriately. Text is easy to read.	Proficient Color is used. The graph, key, title and labels are arranged appropriately. Text is readable.	Basic Little color is used. The graph, key, title and/or labels are not arranged appropriately. Text is difficult to read.	Below Basic No color is used. The graph, key, title, and/or labels are missing. Text is missing.
Interpreting the Graph	Advanced Explanation summarizes the graph clearly, using correct spelling and grammar. Summary includes the activity requiring the most time, the least time, anything surprising about how time is spent, and how this project may or may not influence how the student may make changes in how time is spent.	Proficient Explanation summarizes the graph clearly, including mostly correct spelling and grammar. Summary includes all but one of the following: the activity requiring the most time, the least time, anything surprising about how time is spent, and how this project may or may not influence how the student may make changes in how time is spent.	Basic Explanation summarizes the graph, including some correct spelling and grammar. Summary includes all but two of the following: the activity requiring the most time, the least time, anything surprising about how time is spent, and how this project may or may not influence how the student may make changes in how time is spent.	Below Basic Explanation is unclear and does not include correct spelling and grammar.
Geometric Accuracy	Advanced The circle of the circle graph is drawn correctly.The size of each sector of the circle graph is appropriate to the percent of the circle that it represents.	Proficient The circle of the circle graph is drawn correctly.The sizes of most sectors of the circle graph are appropriate to the percent of the circle they represent.	Basic	Below Basic The circle of the circle graph is not drawn correctly. The sizes of most sectors of the circle graph are not appropriate to the percent of the circle they represent.
