1.1 analyze problems by identifying relationships, discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, sequencing and prioritizing and observing patterns 1.2 determine when and how to break a problem into simpler parts 2. Students use strategies, skills and concepts in finding solutions. Students make decisions about how to approach problems. 1.1 analyze problems by identifying relationships, discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information and observing patterns 1.2 formulate and justify mathematical conjectures based upon a general description of the mathematical question or problem posed 2. Students use strategies, skills and concepts in finding solutions 2.3 estimate unknown quantities graphically and solve for them using logical reasoning, and arithmetic and algebraic techniques 2.4 use a variety of methods such as words, numbers, symbols, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams and models to explain mathematical reasoning 3.
Students move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to other situations.
Number Sense 1. Students know the properties of and compute with rational numbers expressed in a variety of forms. Students express quantitative relationships using algebraic terminology, expressions, equations, inequalities and their graphs. Students make decisions about how to approach problems. 1.1 analyze problems by identifying relationships, discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns 2.
