Reasoning & Reflecting

Assessing how you arrived at an answer and evaluating alternative methods or potential mistakes.

Being able to demonstrate and explain why solutions are correct.

Reflecting & Connecting

Recognizing similarities between current problems and previous ones - allowing for deeper understanding.

Reflecting on the process of working through mathematical concepts before / during / after an activity and making connections to prior knowledge.

Selecting Tools & Problem Solving

Determining the best approach to obtain accurate answers that best suits the needs of the problem.

Selecting appropriate assistive technologies or methods to solve the specific problem at hand.

Representing & Communicating

Using findings to draw conclusions and communicate those conclusions clearly.

Creating charts / graphs / tables to represent data or other information.

Communicating & Connecting
