A Parents Guide to the


Standards for Mathematical Practice

As your child works through homework exercises, you can help him/her develop
and apply the eight Mathematical Practices by asking some of these questions:
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
t What problem are you asked to solve?
t Have you solved similar problems?
t What is your plan for solving the problem?
t Did you use a different method to check your answer?
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
t Can you think of a number sentence (equation) to match the story (situation)?
t What do the numbers in the number sentence mean?
t How are the facts in the problem related to one another?
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
t What does your answer mean?
t How can you be sure that your answer is correct?
4. Model with mathematics.
t What number sentence (equation) describes this problem?
t What numbers will you use to solve the problem?
t How are the numbers in the problem connected?
t Is your answer reasonable?
t What does your solution represent?
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
t What tools can help you solve this problem?
t Which tool is the most useful for this problem? Why is that your choice?
t Did you begin by estimating the solution?
6. Attend to precision.
t What do the symbols that you used mean?
t What units of measure are you using?
t Explain what [term from the lesson] means.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
t What do you notice about the solutions youve just completed?
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
t Are there shortcuts for solving similar problems?
