3.5
In addition to Score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications regarding the more complex content with partial success.
Proficient
“The Standard.” The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding any of the information and processes that were end of instruction expectations.
Identify relevant given information
Arrange reasoning in a logical sequence
Support reasoning using appropriate justifications (theorems, postulates, definitions, etc.)
The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) and partial knowledge of the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
Progressing
The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes but exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).

recall theorems, definitions, and postulates
fill out justification given a statement
Given a statement, the student can fill out the justification. (skeleton proof)
