Five Finger Rubric
	Poor 0 pts	Fair 1 pts	Good 2 pts	Excellent 3 pts
Plan	Poor There is no plan.	Fair There is the beginning of a plan but it is not completed. Example: student includes a WIK/WINK tree map but is not filled out.	Good There is a plan present. The plan lists some things the student knows from reading the problem and what he/she needs to know; however, the plan lacks detail.	Excellent There is a detailed plan of how the student will complete the problem.
Numbers	Poor The student does not include an equation or an expression that represents the problem.	Fair There are numbers present, but the numbers do not relate to the problem being solved or there are errors in the computation.	Good Numbers are present that relate to the problem being solved but they are not neatly organized or easily read by others. The answer is correct.	Excellent Numbers are presented neatly. The computation is organized in a manner so that the reader can easily follow the math thinking. The answer is correct.
Words	Poor The student does not explain how he/she found the answer or completed the task. The big question is not answered.	Fair The problem is solved and the answer is stated, but the question is not restated in the answer, meaning it does not contain a complete sentence.	Good The problem is solved and the answer is stated in a complete sentence.	Excellent The answer is presented in a complete sentence and the student explains the process he/she went through to solve the problem.
Model	Poor There is no model or representation of student work.	Fair There is a representation present, but it is not labeled in a way that would allow the reader to understand what it is meant to represent or its part in the problem solving process.	Good There is a model, graph, diagram, or other representation present that is not labeled, but is presented so that the reader understands its part in the problem solving process.	Excellent There is a representation/model present that is clearly labeled. The student's thinking is clearly understood.
Connections	Poor There are no connections present. The student does not check his/her work with an inverse operation nor does the student connect this problem to one encountered in his home or community.	Fair There is an attempt at a connection. The student checked his/her work with the inverse operation but the computation is not correct.	Good The student solved the problem another way, checked his/her work with the inverse operation, OR made a connection between the problem and one that he/she might encounter in his/her home or community.	Excellent The student solved the problem another way, checked his/her work with the inverse operation, AND made a connection between the problem and one that he/she might encounter in his/her home or community.
