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.
