Concepts & procedures/strategies

Inappropriate procedures/strategies were selected.

Some appropriate procedures/strategies are selected.

Appropriate procedures/strategies are selected with logical sequencing.

Relevant concepts/procedures/

strategies are selected and implemented.

 

Problem constraints/concepts & variables

Evidence of limited understanding of constraints/concepts & variables.

Evidence of several:

-misconceptions

-concepts/constraints

 overlooked

-irrelevant variables.

Evidence of:

-a misconception

-a relevant

 concept/constraint 

 is overlooked

-an irrelevant  

 variable is 

 considered.

 

Evidence of a thorough understanding of the problem constraints/concepts and variables.

Accuracy of the solution

Response/solution is incomplete or incorrect with evidence of limited reasoning in an attempt to solve the problem.

Response/solution is generally correct but supporting information/strategy missing or incomplete.  Completed solution is not evident.

Response/solution is generally correct.  Completed solution to the problem is evident but unclear, supporting details are missing.

Solution and relevant work is correct.  Minor computational or copying errors may be evident.
