34. Describe mathematical “habits of mind” Next slide, similar to “Anchor Standards” from ELA Standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning, problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement Connect with content standards in each grade 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice K - 12

35. Standards for Mathematical Practice K - 12 1.Make sense of 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.

36. Mathematics Domains K - 8 Domains K - 5 Counting & Cardinality –(K only) Operations & Algebraic Thinking (K – 5) Number & Operations in Base Ten Number & Operations in Fractions (3 – 5) Measurement & Data Geometry Domains 6 - 8 Ratio & Proportional Relationships (6 & 7) The Number System Expressions and Equations Geometry Statistics & Probability Functions (8 grade only)

37. Overview of K-8 Mathematics Standards Each grade includes an overview of cross-cutting themes and critical areas of study.

38. Format of K-8 Mathematics Standards Domains: overarching ideas that connect topics across the grades. Clusters: illustrate progression of increasing complexity from grade to grade. Standards: define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. 4
