The Standards for Mathematical Practice
The 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice describe the behaviors of mathematically proficient students. Mathematics teachers at all levels should seek to develop these behaviors. During this year we will focus on all of the Mathematical Practice Standards.
Practice #1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Practice #2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Practice #3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Practice #4 Model with mathematics
Practice #5 Use appropriate tools strategically
Practice #6 Attend to precision
