Go Math & Standards for

Mathematical Practices

By Amanda Davis & Jacque Ketchum

Kelly Springs Elementary School

Standard 1.Makes sense of problems and perseveres in solving them.

Understands the problem and

looks for entry points to its

solution

Designs a plan

Analyzes information

(givens, constrains,

relationships, goals)

Checks their answers to

problems and ask, “Does this make sense?”

Monitors and evaluates the progress and

changes course as necessary

Standard 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

Makes sense of

quantities and

relationships

Represents a

problem symbolical

ly Understands and uses

properties of

operations

Standard 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

Asks useful questions to clarify

or improve the arguments

Listens or reads the arguments of others

Communicates and defends their mathematical

reasoning using objects, drawings, diagrams, actions

Decide if the arguments of others

make sense

Makes conjectures and attempts to

prove or disprove through examples

and counterexamples

Standard 4. Model with mathematics.

Apply reasoning to create a plan or analyze a real world problem

Applies formulas/equation

s

Makes assumptions and approximations to make a problem

simpler Checks to see if an answer makes

sense and changes a model when

necessary Video

Standard 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

• Identifies relevant external math resources and uses them to pose or solve problemsCenters

• Makes sound decisions about the use of specific tools

Calculators

• Uses technological tools to explore and deepen understanding of concepts

Computers

Standard 6. Attend to precision.

Communicates and defends their mathematical reasoning

using objects, drawings, diagrams, actions

Decide if the arguments of others make

sense

Listen or reads the

arguments of others

Uses definitions

and previously established results in

constructing arguments

Ask useful questions to

clarify or improve the arguments

Standard 7. Look for and make use of structure.

Looks for patterns or structure

Recognize the significance in concepts and models and can apply strategies for solving related problems

Looks for the big picture or overview

Standard 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Notices repeated calculations and looks for general

methods and shortcuts

Continually evaluates the

reasonableness of their results while attending to details and

makes generalizations

based on findings

Solves problems arising in

everyday life
