Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021

Algebra Rubric Term 3 2021 Name: Jasper

Criteria	Level 2 (5ii)	Early Level 3	Level 3	Level 4
Algebraic patterns	Explain the rule for a sequential pattern.	Describe the rules for number patterns	Use tables and graphs to describe rules number patterns	Find rules and formulas for number patterns

My Algebra goals: 

Goal	Success Criteria (This is what it will look like when I get there)
I need to explain what the next term of a spatial pattern will be. Eg	To achieve this goal I can say which is the next number, shape or character in the pattern or I know what the next number or shape will be in the next part of the sequence. Eg the next creature is a butterfly. The next pattern will have four triangles.etc.
I can describe what must happen for the next pattern. For example	To achieve this goal I can say what is happening in the patterns eg You add two matches each time to make the next pattern in the sequence. It is going up by 2 each time starting from 3.
I need a strategy to continue a pattern without drawing or building every one.	To achieve this goal I will have a strategy such as a table I can use to work out how many matchsticks there will be needed to make 10 triangles.  Triangles 1 2 3 4 5 Matches 3 5 7 9 11 Each time the difference gets bigger by one so I can work out the 10th pattern without building it.
I need to be able to use a formula to work out the 100th term in a spatial or number pattern	To achieve this goal, I can use letters to represent the term in a sequence that I get from looking at a table and building a formula.   I notice if I double the number of triangles and add 1, I get the number of matches needed so m = double p plus 1. Eg 3 x 2 = 6 plus 1 = 7.

Goal setting Algabra

My goal in algebra is to use a formler

Algebra Reflection

Using the two tests, think about your strengths and which gaps you have sorted out. (goals you have achieved). To be completed at the end of the 3 weeks. 

Talk to someone about:

• How you achieved them (you could talk about how quickly you achieve them, some of the learning qualities that helped you achieve them.) 

• What strategies you now have to help you with algebraic problems. (use your rubric)

• What worked well for your learning (what you did or what your teachers did)

• What could have been better (what could you have done better? or what could your teachers have done better?)

Finally post on your Blog 

An Example 

Progress and what could have been better.

I was working on using tables to help me see patterns with numbers rather than having to build the next pattern when we were using matches. It was good to be able to build the next pattern just to check though. Having the materials definitely helped. 

What could have been better was spending more time using graphs to help me predict number patterns and spending more time on formulas. I think I worked hard and definitely have better strategies like using tables that I didn’t have before.
