Quantitative Literacy Rubric 
Quantitative Literacy Rubric
Learning Outcome for Quantitative Literacy: The student is able to create and/ or locate, read and interpret data from quantitative displays (line and bar graphs, pie charts, maps, tables and diagrams), identifying patterns, deducing relationships, and formulating generalizations. The student is then able to compare and contrast “interpreted” data in a quantitative display with interpretations from other quantitative displays and with other written claims. He/she is able to marshal an argument using quantitative evidence in favor of a focused conclusion. Analysis and arguments are to be expressed clearly and concisely.

Data Selection

Insufficient

Student does not understand concept of data selection
Poor

Data selection is scattershot
Limited

Data selection begins to be haphazard, inappropriate to task
Satisfactory

Data selection is less consistently on target, more disconnected to the task or prompt at hand
Proficient

Student almost always selects appropriate data for analysis
Excellent

Student consistently selects appropriate and best data for reading and interpretation
Analysis of Data

Insufficient

• Student is incapable of reading, interpreting quantitative data
• Student cannot identify patterns, relationships in data
• Student cannot generalize; he or she does not grasp the concept
Poor

• Student’s ability to read and interpret quantitative data is at the rudimentary level or below
• Student possesses little or no ability to detect pattern and relationship in quantitative data
• There is little or no generalization from given data
Limited

• Student’s ability to read and interpret quantitative displays is insufficient
• Manifest error in detection of pattern and relationship is present
• Student demonstrates little ability to generalize
Satisfactory

• Errors in reading/interpretation are more prevalent
• Student’s ability to infer patterns and relationships from data grows weaker; inaccuracies and errors may occur
• Student’s ability to generalize begins to be compromised. There is no sense of the limits of generalization
Proficient

• Occasional isolated errors may occur in the reading and interpretation of quantitative data
• Student’s awareness of pattern and relationship is less fine and not as concisely expressed (in written form)
• Generalizations are less perceptive. Awareness of the limits of generalization is inarticulate or lacking entirely
Excellent

• Student’s analysis of quantitative display (charts and graphs…) is complete and precise with respect to labeling and scaling
• Student is keenly aware of patterns and relationships within data and articulates these cogently
• Student makes apt and perceptive generalizations from given data where appropriate; at the same time he or she is aware of the limits of generalization
Comparison of Data

Insufficient

Student is unable to compare/contrast data from different sources
Poor

There is little or no evidence of comparison between differing data presentations
Limited

Student’s ability to compare and contrast analytically is barely developed
Satisfactory

Errors in interpretive comparison of data presentations occur
Proficient

Comparison between (among) alternative quantitative presentations is less focused; interpretive errors may occur in “parsing” these alternates
Excellent

Student achieves insightful and well-argued comparisons with other quantitative presentations or written interpretations
