Description
Communicate with mathematical precision: use correct vocabulary, specify units, and use symbols accurately
Mastery Evidence
- Use the = sign correctly to mean 'is the same as' rather than 'the answer is'
- Include units when giving a measurement answer (e.g. '12 cm' not just '12')
- Use precise terms such as 'edge', 'vertex', 'face' when describing 3-D shapes, and 'greater than', 'less than' when comparing numbers
Assessment Prompt
