Mathematical process standards

The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding

apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace

use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution

select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems

communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language as appropriate

create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas

analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas

display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral communication

The student applies mathematical process standards to understand how to represent and compare whole numbers, the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers, and relationships within the numeration system

count forward and backward to at least 20 with and without objects

read, write, and represent whole numbers from 0 to at least 20 with and without objects or pictures

count a set of objects up to at least 20 and demonstrate that the last number said tells the number of objects in the set regardless of their arrangement or order

recognize instantly the quantity of a small group of objects in organized and random arrangements

generate a set using concrete and pictorial models that represents a number that is more than, less than, and equal to a given number up to 20

generate a number that is one more than or one less than another number up to at least 20

compare sets of objects up to at least 20 in each set using comparative language

use comparative language to describe two numbers up to 20 presented as written numerals

compose and decompose numbers up to 10 with objects and pictures

The student applies mathematical process standards to develop an understanding of addition and subtraction situations in order to solve problems

model the action of joining to represent addition and the action of separating to represent subtraction

solve word problems using objects and drawings to find sums up to 10 and differences within 10

explain the strategies used to solve problems involving adding and subtracting within 10 using spoken words, concrete and pictorial models, and number sentences

The student applies mathematical process standards to identify coins in order to recognize the need for monetary transactions. The student is expected to identify U.S. coins by name, including pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters

The student applies mathematical process standards to identify the pattern in the number word list. The student is expected to recite numbers up to at least 100 by ones and tens beginning with any given number

The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties

identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles

identify three-dimensional solids, including cylinders, cones, spheres, and cubes, in the real world

identify two-dimensional components of three-dimensional objects

identify attributes of two-dimensional shapes using informal and formal geometric language interchangeably

classify and sort a variety of regular and irregular two- and three-dimensional figures regardless of orientation or size

create two-dimensional shapes using a variety of materials and drawings

The student applies mathematical process standards to directly compare measurable attributes

give an example of a measurable attribute of a given object, including length, capacity, and weight

compare two objects with a common measurable attribute to see which object has more of/less of the attribute and describe the difference

The student applies mathematical process standards to collect and organize data to make it useful for interpreting information

collect, sort, and organize data into two or three categories

use data to create real-object and picture graphs

draw conclusions from real-object and picture graphs

The student applies mathematical process standards to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security

identify ways to earn income

differentiate between money received as income and money received as gifts

list simple skills required for jobs

distinguish between wants and needs and identify income as a source to meet one's wants and needs
