Determines the Problem	I show that I understand ideas and processes by identifying all of the important elements and leaving out unnecessary information.	I show that I understand some of the ideas and processes by identifying most of the important elements and necessary information.	I show that I understand some ideas and processes, but I sometimes do not express them clearly. I only identify some of the important elements and assume or use unnecessary information.	I do not show that I understand ideas and processes. I need help to identify the elements of the task.
Chooses Strategy	I change the problem into useful processes using correct terms and logic. I choose the most efficient skills, strategies, and processes.	I change the problem into useful processes. I choose skills, strategies, and processes that fit the problem.	I use only part of the information given in the problem. I choose skills, strategies, and processes that only partially fit the problem.	I change the problem into incorrect processes. I need help to choose skills, strategies, or processes.
Reviews Work	I review my work using a different strategy and explain which strategy is easier to evaluate.	I review my work to see if it makes sense.	I review my work using the same strategy.	I do not review my work.
Applies Strategy	I communicate effectively with complete responses. I have a clear, coherent, and logical explanation that uses strong supporting evidence, examples, and counterexamples.	I have a clear response, but some people may not understand my thinking. I include some supporting arguments.	My response is incomplete and my explanation is confusing. My arguments are unfinished and unconvincing.	I leave out portions of the problem. I have errors in my response.
Uses Diagrams and Models	I include clear and elegant diagrams and models.	My diagrams and models are appropriate for the problem.	My diagrams and models are unclear.	I use diagrams and models that conflict with the problem.
Makes Connections	I go beyond the requirements of the problem and find a relationship, connection, or extension to a new situation or concept.	I complete the requirements of the problem, but I do not go beyond. If asked, I can connect and apply the answer to a new problem, but I may not see relationships or connections to other concepts or situations.	I do not complete the requirements of the problem. I partially connect and apply my answer to a new problem, but my connection may be incorrect.	I cannot complete the requirements of the problem without assistance. My connections do not apply, and I don’t provide evidence that the solution makes sense.
