Novice 1 pts Makes an effort No or little understanding	Problem Solving No evidence of understanding the problem/topic.	Reasoning and Proof The math thinking is not evident.	Communication No evidence of math language and/or math notation.	Connections There is no evidence that a connection was made about the problem or the numbers in the problem	Representation Math representation is not evident in the explanation of the problem.
Apprentice 2 pts Ok, good try Unclear if student understands	Problem Solving Some or part evidence of understanding the problem/topic. The demonstrated strategy worked for part of the problem.	Reasoning and Proof Some math thinking is evident.	Communication Some math language is evident	Connections Evidence of making a connection but it is not about the math in the problem	Representation An attempt to use math representation is used to help solve the problem and explain work but it has several mistakes.
Practitioner 3 pts Excellent Clear Strong understanding	Problem Solving An understanding of the problem/topic and the strategy worked. The answer is correct.	Reasoning and Proof All math thinking is evident.	Communication The use of math language and/or math notation is obvious throughout the work.

Expert 4 pts Wow, awesome! Exceptional understanding	Problem Solving An obvious understanding of the problem/topic is demonstrated. Evidence of the rule, and or verified the strategy worked.	Reasoning and Proof Evidence of thinking is shown. An explanation of the rule exist.	Communication The use of a lot of specific math language and or notation is used throughtout the problem.	Connections Evidence of making a definate connection is used and that helped to extend an answer. A link was made between this problem and anther problem.	Representation The use of another math representaion was made to help solve the problem and explain work in another way.
