Appendix Q1a
| Response | Mark | |
|---|---|---|
| Key not being used/Misinterpreted | ||
| 1 | Not looked at the key | 1 |
| 2 | Counted circles as 1’s rather than 4’s | 1 |
| 3 | Counted the circles but hasn’t referred to the key | 1 |
| 4 | She didn’t understand what 1 circle represents (Misinterpretation of the key) | 1 |
| 5 | She didn’t understand what one circle 1 circle represents. She didn't add them. | 1 |
| 6 | Counted the circles only | 1 |
| 7 | Not counted the circles correctly he added the two circles he was supposed to count 4 + 4 = 8 | 1 |
| 8 | Mistaken each circles value | 1 |
| 9 | Misinterpreted the diagram and circle values | 1 |
| 10 | Not looked at the key and how many students each circle represents | 1 |
| 11 | Counted a circle per person instead of 8 people (First part of answer is correct, the second part references the correct answer) | 1BOD |
| 12 | counted 1 circle as 1 where it should be 8 (First part of answer is correct, the second part references the correct answer) | 1BOD |
| What the diagram should show | ||
| 13 | Put two circles instead of half a circle (diagram would have a half a circle if Monday was 2) | 1 |
| 14 | put two full circles instead of ½ | 1 |
| 15 | Done this wrong because a full circle means 4 students so he should have drawn 1 half circle | 1 |
| 16 | 8 students absent (Not answering the question) | 0 |
| 17 | Done that wrong because the circle represents 4 students not 2 (contradiction) | 0 |
| 18 | done full circles | 0 |
| 19 | Said that a whole circle represents 4 students, therefore it is misleading (to be correct the candidate would have had to say 1 student, as this is not stating what Harper has done incorrectly) | 0 |
| 20 | Wrote down that 8 students were absent when 2 students was absent (referencing the key being incorrect, not what harper has done incorrectly) | 0 |
