Description
6
Exemplary
Give a complete response with clear, coherent explanation; shows work or diagrams; communicates answer effectively to audience; shows understanding of open-ended problem’s; identifies important elements of the problem
5
Competent
Give fairly complete response with reasonably clear explanations; may show work; communicates answer effectively to audience; shows understand of the problem and process; identifies important elements of the problem
4
Minor Flaws but Satisfactory
Completes the problem satisfactorily, but explanation not complete; shown work may be inappropriate or unclear; understands the mathematical idea; uses math ideas effectively
3
Serious Flaws but Nearly Satisfactory
Begins problem correctly but may fail to complete or omits important parts; fails to show understanding of mathematical ideas and processes; make major computational errors; misuse or fail to use mathematical terms; response may reflect an inappropriate way of solving
2
Begins but fails to complete problems
Explanation is not understandable; work is unclear; show no understanding of the problem; make major computational errors
1
Unable to begin effectively
Words do not reflect the problem; work misrepresents the problem; copies parts of the problem without attempting a solution; does not show what information is important to the problem

Learning Outcomes
Criteria or Target
Assessment Methods or Tools
When/How Assessment will be accomplished
Students will understand concepts involved when multiplying fractions.
The students will multiply fractional parts of a whole when they have a set number of the fractional part with 80% accuracy.
Assessment and pencil
The assessment will be given at the end of the lesson. The student will be given various fractions of a whole and they will be asked to compute the answer.
Students will be able to:
1.       Rename percents as decimals.
2.       Rename percents as fractions in simplest form.
Students will understand percents as decimals and fractions in simples form with 80% accuracy.
Word problems, calculator, pencil
The assessment will be given at the end of the lesson. The student will be given various word problems of realistic situations dealing with percents and will have to perform the calculations.
Students will be able to:
1.       Express a fraction in higher terms.
2.       Use the greatest common factor for renaming fractions in simplest form.
Students will understand equal fractions with 80% accuracy.
Fractional diagram, pencil, calculator
The assessment will be given at the end of the lesson. The student will be given various fractional diagrams and they will write the fraction in a higher term and in simplest form.
