y = 3, what is y when x = 24?

acquired or developed adequately to aid
understanding.
2. Developing (D)- The pupil at this level possesses
the minimum knowledge and skills and core
understanding, but needs help throughout the
performance of authentic tasks.






3. Approaching Proficiency (AP) -
The pupil at this level has developed the
fundamental knowledge and skills and core
understandings and with little guidance from
teacher/peers can transfer these understandings
through authentic performance tasks.
4. Proficient (P) The pupil at this level has
developed the fundamental knowledge and skills
and core understanding and can transfer them
independently through authentic performance
task.
