Mathematical Process Standards
Mathematical Process Standards
-
-
Problem-Solving Model
The student uses a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution.
-
Select Tools and Techniques
The student selects appropriate tools and techniques, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology, and techniques such as mental math, estimation, and number sense, to solve problems.
-
Communicate Mathematical Ideas
The student communicates mathematical ideas, reasoning, and implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language.
-
Form Representations
The student creates and uses representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
-
Analyze Relationships
The student analyzes mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas.
-
Justify Reasoning
The student displays, explains, and justifies mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication.
