*Understanding/making sense/reasoning means that I am learning to:

GRADE:

out of 100

A-make observations about mathematical relationships

B-discover own strategies and solutions.

C-discover more than one way to solve a problem.

D-provide examples and/or counter-examples to show ideas.

E-think deeply with creative insights:

i-make, describe, and try conjectures (suggestions on ways to solve a problem).

ii-make generalizations from conjecturing and trying (ways to solve similar problems in similar ways).

iii-make connections to math discussions, other subjects, and the real world.

iv-ask "What if?" or state "I wonder..." queries.

F-reflect on and describe learning and growth, strengths, needs:

i-AHA's

ii-joys

iii-frustrations

iv-disequilibrium
