Mathematical Practices

You observe students drawing rectangles on grid paper to solve an area problem. Which mathematical practice (MP) are they demonstrating?

• MP 4: Model with mathematics

• MP 5: Use tools

• MP 6: Attend to precision

• MP 7: Look for structure

What mathematical practice are students using when they form a conjecture about the sum of the angle measures in a triangle and determine whether their conjecture is true?

• MP 8: Look for patterns

• MP 2: Reason abstractly

• MP 1: Make sense & persevere

• MP 3: Construct arguments

A student checks their answer. "Does 2.5 meters make sense here?" Which mathematical practice (MP) are they demonstrating?

• MP 1: Make sense & persevere

• MP 5: Use tools

• MP 6: Attend to precision

• MP 7: Look for structure

Asking these questions promotes which mathematical practice (MP)?

• MP 7: Look for structure

• MP 8: Look for patterns

• MP 2: Reason abstractly

• MP 4: Model with mathematics

Students are solving, "How many people came to the playground?" They might use cubes, fingers, drawings, or a number path.

• MP 4: Model with mathematics

• MP 5: Use tools

• MP 6: Attend to precision

• MP 7: Look for structure

Our curriculum resources identify the mathematical practices that students will use in each lesson.
