Standards of Mathematical Practice

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe behaviors that all proficient math students should exhibit. These practices will allow students to understand and apply mathematics with confidence.

Mathematically proficient students... 1. make sense of problems and

persevere in solving them. 2. reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. construct viable arguments and

critique the reasoning of others. 4. model with mathematics by applying

the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.

5. use appropriate tools strategically. 6. communicate, measure and calculate

with precision. 7. look closely to discern a pattern or

structure. 8. notice if calculations are repeated,

and look both for general methods and for shortcuts.
