Achievement criteria
On this page: Achievement | Achievement with Merit | Achievement with Excellence
Achievement
- You need to apply knowledge of geometric representations in solving problems.
- This could involve one or more of:
- using at least three different appropriate methods when solving problems
- demonstrating knowledge of geometrical concepts and terms
- communicating solutions using appropriate geometrical terms or representations.
- Make sure that you can:
- construct and describe simple loci
- interpret points and lines on co-ordinate planes, including scales and bearings on maps
- create accurate nets for simple polyhedra and connect three dimensional solids with different two dimensional representations
- use a co-ordinate plane or map to show points in common and areas contained by two or more loci.
- Geometric representations will be selected from:
- two-dimensional coordinate systems such as grid map references
- scale diagrams
- bearings
- locus
- constructions
- nets
- two dimensional representations of three dimensional objects.
- Problems could be in contexts such as map reading, orienteering, designing a course for a yacht race, organising a search and rescue operation, choosing the best route.
Achievement with merit
- Make sure that you can meet the criteria for achievement
- You need to apply knowledge of geometric representations, using relational thinking, in solving problems.
- This could involve one or more of:
- selecting and carrying out a logical sequence of steps
- connecting different concepts and representations
- demonstrating understanding of concepts
- forming and using a model
- relating findings to a context
- communicating thinking using appropriate mathematical statements.
Achievement with excellence
- Make sure that you can meet the criteria for merit
- You need to apply knowledge of geometric representations, using extended abstract thinking, in solving problems.
- This could involve one or more of:
- devising a strategy to investigate or solve a problem
- identifying relevant concepts in context
- developing a chain of logical reasoning, or proof
- forming a generalisation
- using correct mathematical statements
- communicating mathematical insight.
