Bobby has demonstrated an extensive understanding of the relationship between the two variables. The problem has been alnalysed and there appears to be a clear understanding that the axes are asymptotes. The independent variable has been correctly chosen and the graph passing through the origin is reasonable. The example is creative, showing good understanding of inverse relationships but there is some poor labelling of axes. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade A9 standard at the end of Stage 5.

Grade A

The student has an extensive knowledge and understanding of the content and can readily apply this knowledge. In addition, the student has achieved a very high level of competence in the processes and skills and can apply these skills to new situations.
