Classroom activities = A
Project = B/C
Showed a strong understanding
of area and was able to apply
understanding to solve
challenging problems.
Did not make a wise decision for
project and worked in a pair
that meant her time was not
spent wisely. Potential to
produce A level of work.

Problem solve

Project = C
Worked well throughout
classroom activities and asked
question when unsure.
Demonstrated an ability to
problem solve in some tasks.
More effort needed on final
project to clarify true
understanding of all
components of area and ability
to problem solve.
