Integrated Response Scoring Rubric 3 points  Addresses all parts of the task appropriately.  Provides thorough evidence of the student’s knowledge, strategy, and execution (including concepts, techniques, and representations) to meet the intent of the task.  May contain execution errors that do not detract from the overall correct completion of the task.  Clearly communicates the student’s mathematical thinking.

Scoring Rubric (cont…) 2 points  Addresses most parts of the task appropriately.  Provides adequate evidence of the student’s knowledge, strategy, and execution (including concepts, techniques, and representations) to meet the intent of the task.  May contain execution errors that do detract from the overall correct completion of the task.  Adequately communicates the student’s mathematical thinking.

Scoring Rubric (cont…) 1 point  Addresses some part(s) of the task appropriately.  Provides some evidence of the student’s knowledge, strategy, and execution (including concepts, techniques, and representations) to meet the intent of the task.  Contains an attempt to accomplish some part of the task with little success.  Minimally communicates the student’s mathematical thinking.

Scoring Rubric (cont…) 0 points  There is no evidence of mathematical knowledge that is appropriate to the intent of the task.

Constructed Response

PaperScoreNotes A-13In Part A, the student arrives at the correct answer, with supporting work. He cross multiplies to find the discount and then subtracts it from the regular price. In Part B, the student has a correct answer, with supporting work; he finds the discount and subtracts it from the sales price. In Part C, the student arrives at the correct answer by taking his Part B answer, finding the sales tax, and adding it back to his Part B answer.

PaperScoreNotes A-102In Part A, the student arrives at an incorrect answer, with supporting work. He finds the discount, but does not subtract it from the regular price (error that detracts). In Part B, the student has an incorrect answer, with supporting work; he follows through with his Part A answer ($30), finds the discount but does not subtract it from the sales price (error that detracts). In Part C, the student has an incorrect answer; he takes his Part B answer ($3), finds the sales tax, and adds it back to $3.

Paper Score Notes A-3 1 The student’s Part A answer and work are correct. He leaves Parts B and C blank.

Paper Score Notes A-4 0 The student’s Part A answer is incorrect with no work shown. He leaves Parts B and C blank.
