MATHEMATICS 2
SCORING RUBRICS
The difficulty with mathematics is that it can be too logical for opinion.
If topics need to be re-addressed, this factor can be observed in the “absence of points” patterns across the classroom population. The granularity that indicates a problem can be multiplied by a consistent factor when points are needed. The resulting "magnifying glass", so to speak, allows an expansion that is less harsh than the logical perspective of “either it’s there or it’s not”. It also gives the instructor the opportunity to explain to the individual how to complete the work that they started if an exercise is not complete.
In essence, the goals, objectives, performances, rubrics, and other instruments are “snapshots” of classroom activity that has been designed according to Washington state standards.
The default scoring is 3 points per problem, as stated below.
- Either an item is present or it isn’t.
- If an answer is present, then either it is completed or it isn’t.
- If an item is completed, either the answer is right or it isn’t.

This rubric for numerical answers will be multiplied by the number of applicable problems on assignments. Other rubrics are used for problems that exercise critical thinking skills. They will be posted as appropriate.
