A
Students classify polygons according to their features and create an algorithm designed to sort and classify shapes.
Cannot classify polygons or grasp sorting algorithms.
Classifies simple polygons but struggles to design a functional sorting algorithm.
Students classify polygons according to their features and create an algorithm designed to sort and classify shapes.
Accurately classifies complex polygons and creates a clear, logical, and working sorting algorithm.
Creates highly efficient, elegant algorithms capable of sorting complex classes and sub-classes of geometric shapes.

A
Sorts shapes randomly without a consistent rule.
Creates a linear sorting process but misses mutually exclusive decision branches.
AC9M7SP04 design and create algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that will sort and classify sets of shapes according to their attributes, and describe how the algorithms work
Optimizes the algorithm to sort the maximum number of complex shapes using the fewest possible steps.
Translates the geometric sorting algorithm into logical pseudocode suitable for computer programming. May or may not use a computer program to implement.
