6th Grade Applied Math Rubrics

These quizzes and slideshows with good and bad examples are how I introduce the expectations of MYP to my 6th graders (MYP year 1).
This bundle includes a Criterion B quiz, Criterion D quiz and several examples and non examples of the following skills

• Writing a general rule
• Verifying your rule with examples
• Explaining the accuracy of your answer
• Determining if your answer makes sense in the context of the problem

After teaching MYP year 1 for 3 years, these are the MYP skills that my students have struggled with the most.

This is a google slideshow that I use to help students (and their parents) understand my expectations on an MYP Criterion D Assessment.

I use multiple specific examples to show what it means to

• Describe vs. Explain the level of accuracy
• Determine if the answer makes sense in the context

After teaching 6th grade math in a few years, I've learned that students often don't know what it means to "explain the accuracy" of their answer or to determine if it makes sense in the context of the problem. This is designed to help clarify the expectations that they will see throughout MYP.

I do this after our first Criterion D quiz. All examples are from the quiz.
