The C description is listed first because ajudgement about sound achievement is a

logical starting point.

Starting with C


11/18

In practice, a Cwould be allocated if the student is

performing reasonably well with the work that hasbeen taught.

Some work may have needed some extra revisionor even some individualised instruction, but thestudent has understood the main concepts andhas demonstrated an adequate level of

competence.

C - Sound

In practice, a D would be allocated if the

students performance is inconsistent.

taught and there is evidence that this has been

occurring across a range of assessments.

D - Basic


13/18

In practice, an Ewould be awarded if there is ahigh level of concern about the studentsperformance. He or she will have experienceddifficulty in most of the assessment tasks.It is likely that the student will only have anelementary knowledge in a few areas of what wastaught.

This should not be asurprise to the parent.

is performing very well with the work presentedand has consistently met the outcomes at a highlevel for the reporting period.

the student has achieved very good results in allthe aspects of the mathematics program that hasbeen taught during the semester.
