1 - Solves problems, reasons, and estimates throughout mathematics.
- Selects and uses problem-solving strategies such as reading the problem, drawing a picture or diagram, using trial and error, making a table or chart, looking for patterns, making a simple problem then generalizing, working backwards, etc.
- Selects and uses appropriate tools (such as mental computation, calculators, manipulative materials, paper and pencil, computer) in solving problems.
- Uses appropriate estimation strategies (such as breaking numbers apart, compatible numbers, guess and check, clustering, rounding, compensation) to check the reasonableness of results.
- Solves non-routine problems for which the answer is not obvious.
- Relates concepts and skills to practical applications / What tools, methods, and procedures are needed to solve problems? /
