Sometimes uses an effective
strategy to solve problems, but
does not do it consistently.
Explanation shows some
mathematical concepts needed
to solve the problem(s).
Correct terminology and
notation are used, but it is
sometimes not easy to
understand what was done.

One of the desserts chosen
could not be cut into fractions
easily.
Topic only briefly discussed
with only one example or
poorly provided examples.
Participated with minimal
effort, to the extent that the
basic requirements were met,
but no additional group effort
was given
One-two of the steps in adding
