When presented with a problem, I can make a plan, carry out my plan, and check its success.
Mathematical Practice 1
BEFORE
EXPLAIN the problem to
myself.
DURING
PERSEVERE
(Stick to it!)
AFTER
CHECK
Is my answer correct? How do my representations connect to my solution?
EVALUATE
CHANGE my plan if
it isnt working out
What worked/didnt work? How was my solution similar or different from my classmates?
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. I can use numbers, words, and reasoning habits to help me make sense of problems.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
I can make logical arguments and respond to the mathematical thinking of others.

I can recognize math in everyday life and use math I know to solve problems.
Use estimates to make the problem simpler.
I will round 5 1/2" to 6".
Find important numbers.
I can
My box turtle is getting a new tank. He is 5 1/2" long and 3" tall. One side length of the tank needs to be 5 times his length. How long will the length of the tank need to be?
Turtle: About 6" long Tank: 5 times the length of the turtle
Turtle Tank Use tools to show Length Length relationships. (inches) (inches) 4 5 6 7 8 20 25 30 35 40
I can use certain tools to help me explore and deepen my math understanding.

I can see and understand how numbers and spaces are organized and put together as parts and wholes. Numbers Spaces
For Example:
I know that
For Example:

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. I can notice when calculations are repeated. Then, I can find more general methods and short cuts.
