27. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards But, what about student- controlled actions? Standards for Mathematical Practices ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks

28. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 1.Make sense of complex problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision 7.Look for and make use of structure 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

29. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 1.Make sense of complex problems and persevere in solving them. Key Ideas Before: Explain the problem; organize information; make a plan During: Persevere!; monitor progress; check reasonableness; create new plans After: Check my answer and method; reflect on what worked Student Actions Display sense-making behaviors Show patience and listen to others Turn and talk for first steps and/or generate solution plan Analyze information in problems Use and recall multiple strategies Self-evaluate and redirect Assess reasonableness of process and answer Nanci Smith, 2014

30. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively Key Ideas Contextualize and Decontextualize Reasoning Habits include 1) creating an understandable representation of the problem solved, 2) considering the units involved, 3) attending to the meaning of quantities, and 4) using properties to help solve problems. Student Actions Represent abstract and contextual situations symbolically Interpret problems logically in context Estimate for reasonableness Make connections including real life situations Create and use multiple representations Visualize problems Put symbolic problems into context Nanci Smith, 2014

31. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Key Ideas Construct arguments: justify and generalize; use examples and non- examples; use multiple representations including manipulatives and drawings Critique reasoning: listen well; identify mistakes; ask questions to clarify thoughts and ideas Student Actions Questions others Use examples and non-examples Support beliefs and challenges with mathematical evidence Forms logical arguments with conjectures and counterexamples Use multiple representations for evidence Listen and respond to others well Uses precise mathematical vocabulary Nanci Smith, 2014

32. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 4.Model with mathematics. Key Ideas Understand and express how math models the real world Represent Math through: concrete models symbols pictures oral real-world language situations Student Actions Connect math (numbers and symbols) to real-life situations Symbolize real-world problems with math Make sense of mathematics Apply prior knowledge to solve problems Choose and apply representations, manipulatives and other models to solve problems Use strategies to make problems simpler Use estimation and logic to check reasonableness of an answer Nanci Smith, 2014

33. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. Key Ideas Recongnize that math tools are not all material tools but include mental strategies. Know HOW to use math tools. Know WHEN to use math tools. Know WHICH tool to use. Reason about the effectiveness of tools. Student Actions Choose appropriate tool(s) for a given problem Use technology to deepen understanding Identify and locate resources Defend mathematically choice of tool Nanci Smith, 2014

34. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 6.Attend to precision Key Ideas Speak, read, write and listen mathematically. Calculate accurately and efficiently. Use correct notation, vocabulary and units of measure. Answer what a question asks. Student Actions Communicate (oral and written) with precise vocabulary Carefully formulate questions and explanations (not retelling steps) Decode and interpret meaning of symbols Pay attention to units, labeling, scale, etc. Calculate accurately and effectively Express answers within context when appropriate Nanci Smith, 2014

35. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 7.Look for and make use of structure Key Ideas The structure of numbers and operations make sense and I can use those structures to solve problems. Access the organization of numbers and space to solve problems. Student Actions Look for, identify, and interpret patterns and structures Make connections to skills and strategies previously learned to solve new problems and tasks Breakdown complex problems into simpler and more manageable chunks Use multiple representations for quantities View complicated quantities as both a single object or a composition of objects Nanci Smith, 2014

36. © ASCD 2013 | Common Core State Standards ASCD/Gates Grant: Virtual Learning Networks Mathematical Practices Standards 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Key Ideas Look for and use patterns. Use repeated reasoning to solve similar problems. Create “shortcuts” and strategies based on patterns. Student Actions Design and state “shortcuts” Generate “rules” from repeated reasoning or practice (e.g. integer operations) Evaluate the reasonableness of intermediate steps Make generalizations Nanci Smith, 2014
