Assessment criterial – EDME394 Assignment 1 Criteria Fail Pass Credit Distinction High Distinction Lesson sequence Lesson sequence (15) demonstrates a limited sequence of topic concepts which are inadequately supported by appropriate learning theories. Proposed learning activities offer limited mathematical learning experience and address a few key topic concepts. Lesson sequence demonstrates a reasonable sequence of topic concepts which are inadequately supported by appropriate learning theories. Proposed learning activities offer rich mathematical learning experience and address a few key topic concepts. Lesson sequence demonstrates a competent sequence of topic concepts supported by appropriate learning theories. Proposed learning activities offer rich mathematical learning experience and address some key topic concepts. Lesson sequence demonstrates a proficient logical sequence of topic concepts supported by appropriate learning theories. Proposed learning activities offer rich mathematical learning experience and address most key topic concepts. Lesson sequence demonstrates an exceptionally coherent and logical sequence of topic concepts supported by appropriate learning theories. Proposed learning activities offer rich mathematical learning experience and address all key topic concepts. Assessment (10) Reasonable assessment items identified that are appropriate to the unit, demonstrating styles and contexts to meet some learners’ needs. Quality assessment items identified that are appropriate to the unit, demonstrating appropriate styles and contexts to meet diverse learners’ needs. High quality assessment items identified that are appropriate to the unit, demonstrating appropriate styles and contexts to meet diverse learners’ needs. Exceptionally high quality assessment items identified that are appropriate to the unit, demonstrating appropriate styles and contexts to meet diverse learners’ needs Inappropriate assessment items identified to the unit, demonstrating inappropriate styles and contexts to meet few learners’ needs. Lesson plan development (10) Lesson plan that lacks a focussed development of mathematical understanding, sequenced in an illogical manner. Appropriate learning theories are absent in the lesson plan. Reasonable lesson plan that provides a focussed development of mathematical understanding, sequenced in a reasonable logical manner. Appropriate learning theories are limited in the lesson plan. Quality lesson plan that provides a focussed development of mathematical understanding, sequenced in a competent logical manner. Appropriate learning theories are somewhat evident in the lesson plan. ICT (5) Limited use of technology as an integral component of the lesson sequence that provides alternative approaches to develop the mathematical concepts. Minimal ICT usage allows students to independently and actively investigate mathematical concepts. Reasonable use of technology as an integral component of the lesson sequence that provides alternative approaches to develop the mathematical concepts. Limited ICT usage allows students to independently and actively investigate mathematical concepts. Rationale (10) Unclear and inappropriate rationale for the teaching approach supported by limited academic literature. Inappropriate learning theories are utilised to support a few aspects of the rationale. Somewhat clear and appropriate rationale for the teaching approach supported by a few academic literature. Appropriate learning theories are utilised to support a few aspects of the rationale. Competent use of technology as an integral component of the lesson sequence that provides alternative approaches to develop the mathematical concepts. Some ICT usage allows students to independently and actively investigate mathematical concepts. Generally clear and appropriate rationale for the teaching approach supported by some academic literature. Appropriate learning theories are utilised to support some aspects of support the rationale. High quality lesson plan that provides a coherent, focussed development of mathematical understanding, sequenced in a logical manner. Appropriate learning theories are evident in the lesson plan. Exceptionally high quality lesson plan that provides a coherent, focussed development of mathematical understanding, sequenced in a logical manner, which addresses a wide variety of learning needs. Appropriate learning theories are clearly evident in the lesson plan. Proficient use of Exceptional use of technology as an integral technology as an integral component of the lesson component of the lesson sequence that provides sequence that provides alternative approaches to alternative approaches to develop the mathematical develop the mathematical concepts.

Clear, succinct and appropriate rationale for the teaching approach supported by adequate academic literature. Appropriate learning theories are utilised to support most aspects of the rationale. Very clear, succinct and appropriate rationale for the teaching approach supported by a range of academic literature. Appropriate learning theories are utilised to support all aspects of the rationale.
