Mathematical Practice • 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
Math Content Standards • Greater focus and coherence • Defines what students should understand and be able to do
Development of Comparing & Ordering Numbers • Circle skills that your child has mastered at his/her grade level • Underline any skills that are still being developed at his her grade level • What is the next skill for your child?
