Other Work Samples for:

Tracy has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the relationship between dependent and independent variables in graphs. Simple graphs of physical phenomena have been drawn and labelled, but the start and end points are not always correct. Although asymptotes have not been indicated in all examples, some understanding of asymptotic behaviour has been demonstrated. More explicit mathematical language could be used to explain the relationships. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C6 standard at the end of Stage 5.
