3. Standards for Mathematical Practice The Importance of Mathematical Practices (4:00) http://youtu.be/m1rxkW8ucAI

4. Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them Use appropriate tools strategically Handout#1 5 1 • Reason abstractly and quantitatively Attend to precision 2 6 Look for and make sense of structure • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others 7 3 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning • Model with mathematics 8 4

5. Expectations Students planning solution pathways, monitoring and evaluating their progress and asking “Does this make sense?” 1 Students knowing and using different properties of operations and objects and creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand. 2 Students understanding and using definitions. Students justifying and explaining their thinking and listening to arguments of others and deciding if they make sense. 3 Students applying and using mathematics to solve problems connected to real-life situations. Students using models to represent, analyze and interpret results. 4

6. Expectations Students communicating precisely to others. Students calculating accurately and efficiently, expressing numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. 6 Students being able to look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Students being able to shift perspectives. 7 Students evaluating the reasonableness of their results. Student Maintaining oversight of the process, while attending to the details. 8 Students being familiar with tools appropriate for their grade or course and using technology tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts. Students being able to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful. 5

10. Standards for Mathematical Practice Handout #2 Generate ideas for how teachers can integrate the Standards for Mathematical Practice in other content areas.

11. Integrating the Standards for Mathematical Practice Do you feel the winds of change? How will you help teachers integrate the Standards for Mathematical Practices with their curriculum? • Develop dispositions and habits of mind • “Characteristic of an educated person” • Precision in thought • Precision in the use of language and terms • Precision of argument • Sense making that happens through conversations
