Grading Rubric
- Tests are graded on a rubric. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical thinking evident in the work. Credit is given for ideas, attempts, and partial work, as well as for correct answers. Students will be given the message that their mathematical thinking and understanding is valued, even if they have made errors.
- Rubrics are scoring guides that allow me to grade student work holistically, focusing on reasoning and process, as well as answers. With rubric grading, I read the entire solution and then decide on the level of mastery or understanding shown.
- When using rubrics to grade individual tests, once each problem is given a score, the scores are either totaled and averaged to yield the overall score on the test.
- One benefit of rubric scoring is that the students get clear feedback about how close they came to meeting my expectations, without being told exactly what they did wrong, forcing them to analyze their own work more closely. My feedback can consist of questions and suggestions instead of corrections or mere notations of errors.
