STRIVING FOR SUCCESS
a bit about how to do well in my class
Opportunities for students to improve:

What parents can do:
|
"To make sense of math ideas and problems, I look for regularity, patterns, structure, representations, connections, and other math I know. I reflect about my own and others' thinking and mistakes and I persevere to be sure that ideas and problems make sense."
|
"Math ideas and solutions make sense when I can use regularity, patterns, structure, representation, connections, and other math I know to justify why the ideas and solutions are always, sometimes, or never true."
|
"I use regularity, patterns, structure, representations, connections, and other math that I know to make conjectures about math ideas I think are always, sometimes, or never true. I create mathematical generalizations by justifying why conjectures are valid."
|
"I notice and reason about mathematical regularity in repeated reasoning, patterns, and structure."
|
"I create and reason from mathematical representations - visual models, graphs, numbers, symbols and equations, and situations."
|
"I notice and reason about connections within and across mathematical representations, other math ideas, and everyday life."
|
"I explore mistakes and stuck points to start new lines of reasoning and new math learning."
|
"I use metacognition and reflection. I think about my math reasoning and disequilibrium - how my thinking is changing and how my ideas compare to other mathematicians' ideas."
|
"I persevere and seek more. I welcome challenging math problems and ideas, and after I figure something out, I explore new possibilities."
