Students must develop and use proofreading skills. Continue to work on extending and developing ideas. Mathematics Students are often still having difficulty with the concept of symmetry. Students are often still having difficulty describing a pattern and continuing a pattern. While students can usually complete graphs, they too often cannot read or interpret them.
Many students confuse a design and a pattern.
Science Students find it difficult to explain how they used a model to better understand a particular scientific phenomenon. Students had difficulty forming a question that they might ask to help them understand more about a scientific investigation. Often, students cannot articulate the reasons for conducting a particular scientific investigation. Predictions may be quite varied but must be plausible. Social Studies Students often do not understand the difference between making a decision and formulating a rule.
