produce evidence that demonstrates understanding of geometry and measurement concepts.
produce evidence that demonstrates understanding of function and algebra concepts.
produce evidence that demonstrates understanding of statistics and probability concepts.
demonstrate problem solving by using mathematical concepts and skills to solve non-routine problems; solves problems that make demands on all three aspects of the solution process: formulation, implementation, and conclusion.
demonstrate fluency with basic and important skills by using these skills accurately and automatically, and demonstrate practical competence and persistence with other skills by using them effectively to accomplish a task, perhaps referring to notes, books, or other students, perhaps working to reconstruct a method.
use the language of mathematics, its symbols, notation, graphs and expressions, to communicate through reading, writing, speaking and listening, and communicates about mathematics by describing mathematical ideas and concepts and explaining reasoning and results.
conduct at least one large scale investigation or project each year, beginning in fourth grade, drawn from data study, science study, mathematical model of physical phenomenon, science study, design of a physical structure, management and planning, pure mathematics investigation, and/or history of a mathematical idea.
