---------MATH PRACTICES
MP 1--Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Students persevere as they try to understand problems involving multiplication and division, and make connections to their knowledge of addition and subtraction.
When presented with a problem, I can make a plan, carry out my plan, and check its success.
MP 2--Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Students use reasoning to analyze relationships between representations and equations.
I can use numbers, words, and reasoning habits to help me make sense of problems.
MP 3--Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Students critique strategies for illustrating products and quotients, and they construct arguments to justify answers.
I can make logical arguments and respond to the mathematical thinking of others.
MP 4--Model with mathematics.
Students use the math that they have previously learned, such as expressions, equations, arrays, and bar diagrams, to represent problems involving multiplication and division.
I can recognize math in everyday life and use math I know to solve problems.
MP 5--Use appropriate tools strategically.
Students consider how to use tools, such as counters and grid paper, to represent arrays.
I can use certain tools to help me explore and deepen my math understanding.
MP 6--Attend to precision.
Students attend to precision when they explain why a quantity can or cannot be shared equally.
I can be precise when solving problems and clear when communicating my ideas.
MP 7--Look for and make use of structure.
Students explore the Commutative Property using arrays. They look for and make use of structure when they explore the meanings of the Identity Property and Zero Property.
I can see and understand how numbers and shapes are organized and put together as parts and wholes.
MP 8--Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Students use repeated reasoning when they look for patterns in facts.
I can notice when calculations are repeated. Then, I can find more general methods and short cuts.
