Observe how well pupils: Worksheet from task 1.2 Use their mathematical understanding when completing the worksheet in task 1.2 Interpret the data, comparing different animals to draw reasoned conclusions Questions to ask: How did you work out your answers? What accuracy did you work to and why? How did you find the birth / adult) weight for a fox / elephant? Did any of the percentages surprise you? Why? Is the table written in any special order? Could you group the data? How? Assessment guidance: Progression in Key Processes Analysing (i) Analysing (ii) Interpreting and evaluating Uses the given method to Is confident in converting Notes simple relationships, complete the first 5 rows, gms to kgs and kgs to gms eg marsupials have ‘The mostly working accurately lower percentages’ Uses realistic figures Rounds up where Recognises distinct groups, (estimated or researched) to appropriate eg marsupials and other find a value for humans animals (likely to be 3 to 5%) Pupil A Uses inefficient methods, eg When asked, can explain As above, and that the horse trial and improvement, to find why the ratio for dog should is greater than might be solutions for fox and be 3.16% rather than 3.15% expected in comparison with elephant as shown on the worksheet the other mammals Pupil A Pupil A Uses efficient methods to Is confident about the level of As above, and categorises find solutions for fox and accuracy to use, and can groups effectively, eg elephant justify decisions marsupials as less than 1% and others as 1 to 10% Sample response: Pupil A Comments Pupil A works confidently and accurately, grouping results effectively. In discussion, she said that she used trial and improvement to find the weights of the fox and elephant. Probing questions and feedback
