5 An appropriate proof with correct conclusion is shown, but one reason is faulty and/<br />

or one statement is missing.<br />

4 A faulty conclusion or no conclusion is drawn from <strong>the</strong> statements and reasoning.<br />

3 An appropriate proof with correct conclusion is shown, but two reasons are faulty or<br />

two steps are missing.<br />

2 An appropriate proof with correct conclusion is used, but more than two reasons are<br />

faulty or more than two steps are missing or have errors.<br />
