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.
