Standard 7.0 Processes of Mathematics: Students demonstrate the processes of mathematics by making connections and applying reasoning to solve problems and to communicate their findings.
|
|
A. Problem Solving
|
1. Apply a variety of concepts, processes, and skills to solve problems
|
a. Identify the question in the problem
|
b. Decide if enough information is present to solve the problem
|
c. Make a plan to solve a problem
|
d. Apply a strategy, i.e., draw a picture, guess and check, finding a pattern, writing an equation
|
e. Select a strategy, i.e., draw a picture, guess and check, finding a pattern, writing an equation
|
f. Identify alternative ways to solve a problem
|
g. Show that a problem might have multiple solutions or no solution
|
h. Extend the solution of a problem to a new problem situation
|
|
B. Reasoning
|
1. Justify ideas or solutions with mathematical concepts or proofs
|
a. Use inductive or deductive reasoning
|
b. Make or test generalizations
|
c. Support or refute mathematical statements or solutions
|
d. Use methods of proof, i.e., direct, indirect, paragraph, or contradiction
|
|
C. Communication
|
1. Present mathematical ideas using words, symbols, visual displays, or technology
|
a. Use multiple representations to express concepts or solutions
|
b. Express mathematical ideas orally
|
c. Explain mathematically ideas in written form
|
d. Express solutions using concrete materials
|
e. Express solutions using pictorial, tabular, graphical, or algebraic methods
|
f. Explain solutions in written form
|
g. Ask questions about mathematical ideas or problems
|
h. Give or use feedback to revise mathematical thinking
|
|
D. Connections
|
1. Relate or apply mathematics within the discipline, to other disciplines, and to life
|
