Mathematical Practices

The eight Standards for Mathematical Practice are an important component of Algebra 1 and as an educator I seek to instill and promote theses habits of mind in all my students.

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.
