Use of Manipulatives

Student always listens and follows directions and only uses manipulatives as instructed.

Student typically listens and follows directions and uses manipulatives as instructed most of the time. Explanation is clear.

Student sometimes listens and follows directions and uses manipulatives appropriately when reminded. Explanation is a little difficult to understand, but includes critical components.

Student rarely listens and often \"plays\" with the manipulatives instead of using them as instructed. Explanation is difficult to understand and is missing several components OR was not included. Explanation shows very limited understanding of the underlying concepts needed to solve the problem(s) OR is not written. Several of the problems are not completed.

Explanation
