Practice Portfolio Marking Scheme?

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I was just wondering whether all the marking schemes were the same for the portfolios. And if they are, I was wondering what it means by, 'The student makes full and resourceful use of a calculator or computer.' in column 4.

I'm confused with other stuff also, but I believe we're not supposed to get help with that...

Thanks!

Ensure you include enough graphs and show enough of your calculations in your portfolio. I remember my portfolios (well, almost 2 years ago)... had a number of graphs and lots of sample calculations to show the thought process to my marker.

Ah okay then, thanks!

In the last column, it says that 'the student has shown an outstanding quality of work.' I'll assume that is based on the teacher's opinion?

Yep! The key with this baby is just to go completely over the top-- lots of graphs, sample calculations, clear language, nice presentation and best of all, accurate mathematics.
