MATHEMATICAL REASONING

Making Decisions about How to Solve Word Problems

Click On: "Solving Problems" (Interactive Web Site)

Choose: "Strategies" - Act Out a Problem (Interactive Web Site)

1.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns - Interactive Web Site (Choose "Strategies")

1.2 Determine when and who to break a multiple step problem into simpler parts - Interactive Web Site (Choose "Strategies")

2.0 Students use strategies, skills, and concepts in finding solutions:

2.1 Use estimation to verify the reasonableness of calculated results.

2.2 Apply strategies and results from simpler problems to more complex problems.

2.3 Use a variety of methods, such as words, numbers, symbols, charts, graphs, tables (choose "Strategies"), diagrams (choose "Strategies"), and models, to explain mathematical reasoning.

2.4 Express the solution clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical notation and terms and clear language; support solutions with evidence in both verbal and symbolic work.

2.5 Indicate the relative advantages of exact and approximate solutions to problems and give answers to a specified degree of accuracy.

2.6 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results from the context of the problem (guess and check [choose "Strategies"]).

3.0 Students move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to other situations:

3.1 Evaluate the reasonableness of the solution in the context of the original situation.

3.2 Note the method of deriving the solution and demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the derivation by solving similar problems.

3.3 Develop generalizations of the results obtained and apply them in other circumstances.
