CC State Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • 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. http://www.insidemathematics.org/index.php/commmon-core-math-intro
Goals • Motivate, Educate, and Inspire students by sharing my passion for math • Build upon students’ computational skills, conceptual understanding, and logical reasoning • Help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to become successful adults
