This rubric is used to score students' responses to short constructed-response items. These
items require the students to use problem-solving skills as they apply to all of the Colorado
Model Content Standards for mathematics. An item may ask the student to include and
communicate reasoning using words and/or numbers, evaluate an answer, or demonstrate
the process used to determine an answer.
There are several short constructed-response items in CSAP, each taking approximately
3 to 5 minutes to complete. Each short constructed-response item receives a single score of
0, 1, or 2 points.
2 Points
The response accomplishes the prompted purpose. The student's strategy and execution
meet the content (including concepts, technique, representations, and connections),
thinking processes, and qualitative demands of the task. Even for tasks that are very open
regarding content, the content chosen by the student must serve the purpose well.
Communication of the student's response is judged by its effectiveness to convince the
reader of the correctness of the response.
1 Point
The response partially accomplishes the prompted purpose. The student's strategy and
execution lacks adequate evidence of the learning and strategic tools that are needed
to accomplish the task; or it may contain fragments of inappropriate material from the
.
curriculum. The response may show some effort to accomplish the task with little success.
It is dear that the student requires additional feedback and/or instruction from the teacher
in order to accomplish the task.
0 Points
When the response lacks any evidence of mathematical knowledge or is blank, it is scored
a 0. When there are marks, words, or drawings unrelated to the task, it is scored a 0.
