Achievement Chart – Mathematics
Here is the rubric/achievement chart that I will use throughout this year to evaluate your child’s achievement in
Math (eg. on unit tests). In the interest of saving paper, I will be including a smaller (modified) version of this on
each piece of assessment. Please refer to this to better-understand your child’s achievement.
