Second Grade Math
Purpose
The rubrics provide a guide to teachers on how to mark students. This helps with consistency across teachers, although all grading involves some subjectivity. In addition to this broad look, more valuable ongoing assessments are utilized to provide detailed data regarding student progress.

The asterisk (*) denotes one possible way a student could demonstrate enrichment or extension that would be designated as Exceeds Standard.
