Rubric for Evaluating a Photograph of a Pattern in Nature (each item)

General Approach
Level of
Achievement (Pattern Clarity, Composition and Framing, Lighting, Focus and Sharpness, Creativity
and Perspective)

The photograph highlights a unique, clear, and intriguing natural pattern that is well-
observed. The image is well-composed, with balanced elements and careful framing
that enhances the pattern. The lighting is used expertly to enhance the pattern,
creating depth and visual interest. The photograph is crisp and sharp, with the pattern
Excellent (3) in perfect focus, emphasizing its details. The perspective or angle chosen adds
uniqueness and interest to the pattern, showcasing creativity. Two picture given and
original.

The photograph captures a recognizable natural pattern, though it may not be very
unique. The composition is good, with some elements placed thoughtfully to show
the pattern. Lighting is clear and sufficient but could be improved for better emphasis
Good (2)
on the pattern. The pattern is mostly in focus, with some minor blurring in certain
areas. The perspective is good, though it could be more dynamic or experimental.
Only one original picture.

The pattern is visible but is common or not very compelling. The composition is
decent but may be unbalanced or cluttered, detracting from the pattern. Lighting is
adequate but may result in harsh shadows or overexposure, obscuring the pattern.
Satisfactory (1)
The focus is somewhat soft, and the pattern is not entirely clear. The perspective is
conventional and does not add much to the visual appeal. Picture are from the
internet.

Rubric for Translating English Phrases to Mathematical Phrases and Vice Versa
 General Approach
Level of
Achievement (Accuracy of Translation, Mathematical Notation and Symbols, Clarity of Expression,
Contextual Understanding, Creativity and Problem Solving)

The translation is fully accurate, with no errors in logic or mathematical expressions.

Uses correct and appropriate mathematical symbols and notation for the given
context. The mathematical phrase is clear, precise, and easy to interpret. Fully
Excellent (2)
understands and captures the meaning and context of the original phrase in both
directions (English to math and vice versa). Demonstrates creative problem-solving in
representing complex English phrases mathematically.

The translation is mostly accurate, with minor mistakes or inconsistencies. Uses

mostly correct symbols and notation, with a few minor errors. The mathematical
Good (1) phrase is understandable, but could be clearer or more concise. Captures most of the
meaning and context, but may miss some subtleties. Adequately represents English
phrases mathematically, though more creative solutions could be explored.

The translation has some noticeable errors or inconsistencies, affecting meaning.

Some symbols or notation are used incorrectly, leading to confusion. The expression is
Satisfactory (0) somewhat unclear or overly complicated for the given context. Misses some key
aspects of meaning or context in the translation. Uses standard or simple
mathematical representations, with little exploration of different methods.

Level of
Achievement (Correct Identification of Differences, Identification of Pattern, Prediction of Next
Term)

All first differences, second differences, and higher differences (if applicable) are
correctly calculated and written out. The pattern of differences is clearly identified
Excellent (5) and correctly analyzed, showing a strong understanding of the sequence’s behavior.
The next term is predicted accurately using the correct pattern and the difference
table, with a clear explanation of the steps.

Most differences are correctly identified, with only a few minor errors in calculations.
The pattern is identified with some analysis, though a small error may affect the

understanding of the sequence. The next term is predicted correctly with a minor
error in reasoning or explanation.

Some differences are calculated correctly, but several errors are present. The pattern
is somewhat identified, but the analysis is incomplete or partially inaccurate. The
