Students make decisions about how to approach problems.
1.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships, discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns. Use estimation to verify the reasonableness of calculated results. Word Problems 2.2 Apply strategies and results from simpler problems to more complex problems. Use a variety of methods, such as words, numbers, symbols, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, and models, to explain mathematical reasoning. 2.4 Express the solution clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical notation and terms and clear language, support solutions with evidence in both verbal and symbolic work.
