Chris has demonstrated an adequate ability to use the midpoint formula to solve a mathematical problem. An appropriate diagram has been used but only one pair of endpoints has been identified. The correct method has been stated and an accurate calculation has been made but the solution was obtained by guessing and checking rather than through algebraic means. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C5 standard at the end of Stage 5.
