Standards for Mathematical Practice

Online Resources

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that


mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.
These practices rest on important processes and proficiencies with
longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the
NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof,
communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands
of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Councils
report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual
understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and
relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly,
accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual
inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled
with a belief in diligence and ones own efficacy).

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

ALCOS #5: Apply and extend previous
understandings of multiplication and
division and of fractions to multiply and
divide rational numbers. (7-NS2)

ALCOS #5(a): Understand that


multiplication is extended from fractions
to rational numbers by requiring that
operations continue to satisfy the
properties of operations, particularly the
distributive property, leading to
products such as (-1)(-1) = 1 and the
rules for multiplying signed numbers.
Interpret products of rational numbers
by describing real-world contexts. (7NS2a)
