The Standards for Mathematical Practice
2. “The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important ‘processes and proficiencies’ with longstanding importance in mathematics education.”
(CCSS, 2010) Practice the Practices Everyday!
3. CCSS Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
Reason abstractly and quantitatively
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
Model with mathematics
Use appropriate tools strategically
Attend to precision
Look for and make use of structure
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

8. “The Standards for Mathematical Practice should be embedded in classroom instruction, discussions, and activities………students should have opportunities to work on carefully designed, standards-based mathematical tasks that can vary in difficulty, context, and type. “
“….assessment as well as curriculum and classroom activities must include a balance of mathematical tasks that provide opportunities for students to develop the kinds of expertise described in the practices.”
“Connecting content and practices happens in the context of working on problems. “
“The Standards for Mathematical Practice interact and overlap with each other and several may be used together in solving a given problem. They are not a checklist.”
PARCC Model Content Frameworks: Key Understandings
9. “Students learn and use strategies for finding products and quotients that are based on the properties of operations; for example, to find 4 ? 7 they may recognize that 7 = 5 ? 2 and compute 4 ? 5 ? 4 ? 2. This is an example of seeing and making use of structure (MP.7). Such reasoning processes amount to brief arguments that students may construct and critique (MP.3).” PARCC Model Content Frameworks: A 3rd Grade Example (Pg 16)
10. “Students will analyze a number of situation types for multiplication and division, including arrays and measurement contexts. Extending their understanding of multiplication and division to these situations requires that they make sense of problems and persevere in solving them (MP.1), look for and make use of structure (MP.7) as they model these situations with mathematical forms (MP.4), and attend to precision (MP.6) as they distinguish different kinds of situations over time (MP.8). “

13. “Area, surface area, and volume present modeling opportunities (MP.4) and require students to attend to precision with the types of units involved (MP.6).”
A sample task: Create a miniature golf design for one hole. Your design must contain at least one triangle and one quadrilateral. Use a metric ruler to label the measurements of your design. Find the perimeter and area of your design.
Students must:
Create a design using knowledge of shapes
Apply math to real world – shapes, perimeter, and area
Be precise with measurements, labels, calculations

14. “Students think with precision (MP.6) and reason quantitatively (MP.2) when they use variables to represent numbers and write expressions and equations to solve a problem (6.EE.6–7). “
An Example: A train travels at a constant speed of 35 miles per hour. Write an equation that represents the distance this train travels over time. Make a table showing 5 different pairs of distances and times for this train. Model this situation using a graph.
Things to think about:
Describe this situation to a friend. What does 35 miles per hour mean?
Table of values: 35 miles in 1 hour, then 70 miles in 2 hours, etc.
Precision with use of variables. Let D = the distance traveled in miles by the train. Let t = the time the train travels in hours.
Check equations – does it make sense? Revise if needed.
Precision with titles and labels when creating table and graph

Students: Understand and use prior learning in constructing arguments
Teacher: Provides opportunities for students to listen to or read the conclusions and arguments of others
