Common Core Math Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Students seek the meaning of a problem and look for efficient ways to represent and solve it.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Students represent a wide variety of real world contexts through the use of real numbers and variables in mathematical expressions, equations, and inequalities
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Students construct arguments using verbal and written explanations.
4. Model with mathematics
Students model problem situations symbolically, graphically, tabularly, and contextually.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
Students consider when available tools for solving a mathematical problem might be helpful.
6. Attend to precision
Students use clear and precise language in their mathematical discussions with others and in their own reasoning and can describe the level of accuracy of their methods and answers.
7. Look for and make use of structure
Students routinely seek patterns or structures to model and solve problems
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
Students use repeated reasoning to understand algorithms and make generalizations about patterns with words and/or symbols.
