Mathematical Thinking Action Step • Students will engage in grade level thinking tasks, that reflect the Standards of Mathematical Practice, and explain their reasoning, respectfully critique others' solutions, and defend their thought processes in group discussions. • Students will construct written responses to math problems clearly communicating their reasoning and justifying their solutions. Audience Math teachers, specialists, and special educators Topics to be Included Standards of Mathematical Practices: Practice 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them; Practice 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively; Practice 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others; Practice 4 Model with mathematics; Practice 5 Use appropriate tools strategically; Practice 6 Attend to precision; Practice 7Look for and make use of structure; Practice 8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Evidence of Learning Teacher and students feedback, walkthrough and observation data, and student performance data will show a greater understanding of mathematical practices, inclusion in teacher lesson planning, effective and explicit instructional practices that support questioning/discussion, verbal and written explanations to math problems, and ultimately students are more confident mathematicians.
