Math Rubrics

Exemplars scoring rubrics are excellent tools for assessing student work.

Exemplars math material includes standards-based rubrics that define what work meets a standard, and allows teachers (and students) to distinguish between different levels of performance. Exemplars rubrics have four levels of performance: Novice, Apprentice, Practitioner (meets the standard) and Expert.

Exemplars uses two types of rubrics:

• Standards-Based Assessment Rubrics are used by teachers to assess student work in Math.

• Student Rubrics are used by students in peer- and self-assessment.

Students can also use our Assessment Rubrics (and annotated anchor papers) to compare their work to during peer- and self-appraisals. This process demonstrates success as well as offers opportunities for refinement. Based on student performance, teaching and learning strategies can be adjusted.
