Georgia Department of EducationStandards for Mathematical Practice (Grades 5 – high school)The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that educators at alllevels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes andproficiencies” with longstanding importance in education. The first of these are the NationalCouncil of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) process standards of problem solving, reasoningand proof, communication, representation, and connections. (Principles and Standards forSchool Mathematics. NCTM: 2000.) The second are the strands of mathematical proficiencyspecified in the National Research Council’s report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategiccompetence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operationsand relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately,efficiently, and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see as sensible,useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one’s own efficacy) (NationalAcademies Press, 2001.)Students are expected to:1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.Students begin in elementary school to solve problems by applying their understanding ofoperations with whole numbers, decimals, and fractions including mixed numbers. Students seekthe meaning of a problem and look for efficient ways to represent and solve it. In middle school,students solve real world problems through the application of algebraic and geometric concepts.High school students start to examine problems by explaining to themselves the meaning of aproblem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints,relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution andplan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consideranalogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order togain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course ifnecessary. They check their answers to problems using different methods and continually askthemselves, “Does this make sense?” They can understand the approaches of others to solvingcomplex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.Earlier grade students should recognize that a number represents a specific quantity. They connectquantities to written symbols and create a logical representation of the problem at hand,considering both the appropriate units involved and the meaning of quantities. They extend thisunderstanding from whole numbers to their work with fractions and decimals. Students writesimple expressions that record calculations with numbers and represent or round numbers usingplace value concepts.Richard Woods, State School SuperintendentJuly 2015 Page 15 of 61All Rights Reserved

Georgia Department of EducationIn middle school, students represent a wide variety of real world contexts through the use of realnumbers and variables in mathematical expressions, equations, and inequalities. They examinepatterns in data and assess the degree of linearity of functions. Students contextualize to understandthe meaning of the number or variable as related to the problem and decontextualize to manipulatesymbolic representations by applying properties of operations.High school students seek to make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations.They abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically, manipulate the representing symbols,and pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for thesymbols involved. Students use quantitative reasoning to create coherent representations of theproblem at hand; consider the units involved; attend to the meaning of quantities, not just how tocompute them; and know and flexibly use different properties of operations and objects.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.In earlier grades, students may construct arguments using concrete referents, such as objects,pictures, and drawings. They explain calculations based upon models and properties of operationsand rules that generate patterns. They demonstrate and explain the relationship between volumeand multiplication.In middle school, students construct arguments using verbal or written explanations accompaniedby expressions, equations, inequalities, models, and graphs, tables, and other data displays (e.g.,box plots, dot plots, histograms). They further refine their mathematical communication skillsthrough mathematical discussions in which they critically evaluate their own thinking and thethinking of other students. The students pose questions like “How did you get that?”, “Why is thattrue?”, and “Does that always work?” They explain their thinking to others and respond to others’thinking.High school students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previouslyestablished results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logicalprogression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyzesituations by breaking them into cases and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justifytheir conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. Theyreason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context fromwhich the data arose. High school students are also able to compare the effectiveness of twoplausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and — ifthere is a flaw in an argument — explain what it is. High school students learn to determinedomains to which an argument applies, listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether theymake sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.Richard Woods, State School SuperintendentJuly 2015 Page 16 of 61All Rights Reserved

Georgia Department of Education4. Model with Mathematics.Students experiment with representing problem situations in multiple ways including numbers,words (mathematical language), drawing pictures, using objects, making a chart, list, or graph,creating equations, etc. Students need opportunities to connect the different representations andexplain the connections. They should be able to use all of these representations as needed.Elementary students should evaluate their results in the context of the situation and whether theresults make sense. They also evaluate the utility of models to determine which models are mostuseful and efficient to solve problems.In middle school, students model problem situations with symbols, graphs, tables, and context.Students form expressions, equations, or inequalities from real world contexts and connectsymbolic and graphical representations. Students solve systems of linear equations and compareproperties of functions provided in different forms. Students use scatterplots to represent data anddescribe associations between variables. Students need many opportunities to connect and explainthe connections between the different representations. They should be able to use all of theserepresentations as appropriate to a problem context.High school students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everydaylife, society, and the workplace. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a designproblem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another. High schoolstudents make assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing thatthese may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situationand map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables, graphs, flowcharts andformulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. Theyroutinely interpret their mathematical results in the context of the situation and reflect on whetherthe results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.Elementary students consider the available tools (including estimation) when solving amathematical problem and decide when certain tools might be helpful. For instance, they may useunit cubes to fill a rectangular prism and then use a ruler to measure the dimensions. They usegraph paper to accurately create graphs and solve problems or make predictions from real worlddata.Students in middle school may translate a set of data given in tabular form to a graphicalrepresentation to compare it to another data set. Students might draw pictures, use applets, or writeequations to show the relationships between the angles created by a transversal.High school students’ tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor,a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometryRichard Woods, State School SuperintendentJuly 2015 Page 17 of 61All Rights Reserved

Georgia Department of Educationsoftware. High school students should be sufficiently familiar with tools appropriate for their gradeor course to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizingboth the insight to be gained and their limitations. For example, high school students analyzegraphs of functions and solutions generated using a graphing calculator. They detect possibleerrors by strategically using estimation and other mathematical knowledge. When makingmathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results ofvarying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. They are able toidentify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, anduse them to pose or solve problems.
