Math Log Name: Standards of Mathematcal Practce The Standards for Mathematcal Practce describe behaviors that all profcient math students should exhibit. These practces will allow students to understand and apply mathematcs with confdence.
Mathematcally profcient students...
1. make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. reason abstractly and quanttatvely. 3. construct viable arguments and critque the reasoning of others. 4. model with mathematcs by applying the mathematcs 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 patern or structure. 8. notce if calculatons are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts.
