This rubric was developed by a team of teachers with significant revisions from experience using it with student work. It was extremely beneficial for us to learn the components of arguments. It also helped us define how students could develop and improve their work. This work was important, but now that we are done with it, we will use a shorter and simpler rubric for our continuing work.

Exemplars Rubrics offer both a student rubric and a teacher rubric. Each rubric is based on standards, rather than specifically pertaining to an activity. Students are graded on problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representations. In each category, students will be graded as a novice, apprentice, practitioner, or expert. There is no number score associated with these rubrics, but a number score could easily be added. Having students fill out their own rubrics encourages them to take ownership of their progress.

This rubric was created to be used with grades 4 and 5 teachers and students. It was modeled after existing rubrics found online to support MP3. The main objective of the rubric was twofold: 1) for teachers to clarify what they were searching for and listening for when evaluating students’ mathematical arguments and 2) for students to understand the components needed to develop a strong mathematical argument. This version of the rubric was to be used to evaluate oral arguments. A modified version of the rubric without the last column (Listening to and Communicating about others’ Thinking) was created to assess written arguments. —- Comment: Grade 5 found that the rubric was a bit cumbersome to assess initial written arguments.

This argumentation rubric is a matrix rubric that grades students on a 0-1-2-3 scale in the categories of claim, evidence, warrant, and the mechanics of the argument. Each section has a well written description of what is being graded, as well as an example of what it might look like. For example, there is a rubric section for claim, so it says what a claim is and provides an example.The examples provide students with a reference as to how their argument might be able to improve next time.
