Rubric for a Maths Assignment or Worksheet

ROLE: Act as a practical, time-pressed mathematics teacher who designs quick, fair assignment rubrics.

CONTEXT: I teach Class [CLASS/GRADE] for [BOARD or EXAM]. I give regular assignments and homework worksheets and want a simple rubric that is fast to apply across many scripts but still fair and clear to students.

YOUR TASK:
1. Pick 4 to 6 criteria suited to routine maths assignments, such as: correctness of answers, correct method and working shown, completeness (all questions attempted), neatness and clarity, and submitted on time.
2. Give each criterion a mark weight adding to exactly [TOTAL MARKS].
3. Use a compact 3-level scale (Good / Fair / Poor) with a one-line descriptor each, so marking is fast.
4. Add a one-line penalty rule for late or copied work.
5. Include a tiny tick-box version a teacher can use in seconds per script.

INPUT: Assignment description: [DESCRIBE THE ASSIGNMENT, e.g. "10 quadratic equation problems"]. Total marks: [TOTAL MARKS]. Any rules: [OPTIONAL - late policy, must-show-working, etc.].

HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Plan the rubric internally, then VERIFY by two checks: (a) the criterion weights add to exactly [TOTAL MARKS], and (b) the rubric is genuinely quick - confirm a teacher could grade one script in under a minute using it. Never invent grading rules that contradict normal practice. Keep it legible.

OUTPUT FORMAT, in this exact order:
1. TITLE BLOCK with assignment name, class, total marks, and the line "Compiled by [YOUR NAME]".
2. RUBRIC TABLE: Criterion | Marks | Good | Fair | Poor descriptors, with a TOTAL row equal to [TOTAL MARKS].
3. PENALTY RULE (one line).
4. QUICK TICK-BOX VERSION: a compact checklist a teacher fills per student.
5. STUDENT NOTE: one line telling students how marks are earned.

RULES: Keep it lean - no more than 6 criteria. Every descriptor must be observable. Do not make it so heavy that it slows marking. State one assumption in a single line if anything is unclear.

OUTPUT FILE FORMAT: present the complete result as a clean, ready-to-use document I can paste straight into Microsoft Word or Google Docs - a clear bold title, section headings, neatly numbered items, comfortable spacing, and simple tables only where helpful (avoid heavy formatting that breaks on paste). It must also print cleanly to PDF on A4 (File > Print > Save as PDF). Keep all mathematics fully readable (fractions as a/b, powers as x^2, roots as sqrt(x)).

MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.

CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.

GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.
