I am beginning to understand a few concepts.

I have some understanding of some concepts.

I have a good understanding of most concepts.

I have a strong understanding of all concepts and could teach someone about them.

I rely on one (or very few) representation(s) to solve problems in most situations.

I create simple representations to solve problems.

I create and move between different representations to solve problems as needed.

I create and move between different mathematical representations flexibly to solve problems and verify my thinking.

I make few connections between ideas and representations.

I make some connections between ideas and representations.

I make connections between ideas and representations. Sometimes I make connections to everyday life.

I make strong connections between ideas, representations and procedures and to everyday life without prompting.

During group problem-solving, I wait for others’ ideas most of the time.

During group problem-solving, I wait for others’ ideas most of the time.

During group problem-solving, I contribute ideas and respond to others’.

During group problem-solving, I share my ideas and value different ways to solve problems.

During independent problem-solving, I use my first approach only and rarely evaluate the reasonableness of my answer(s).

During independent problem-solving, I reflect on my thinking occasionally and sometimes evaluate the reasonableness of my answer(s).

During independent problem-solving, I reflect on my thinking and sometimes make changes. I evaluate the reasonableness of my answer(s).
