Teacher: Year: The Nevada ematics Standards and Douglas County s ematics Critical Content connect the Process and Content Standards. The Process Standards describe the process in which students should learn mathematics and engage in mathematical thinking. They are included on this checklist as a constant reminder of how our students should be supported in their mathematical thinking and embedded in every lesson. The Content Standards outline the big mathematical ideas that all students should know and be able to do. These are provided in the typical checklist format. Neither will develop mathematically proficient students when used in isolation. Grades 6-8 Process Standards Process Standard: Problem Solving Generalize solutions and apply previous knowledge to new problem solving situations Determine an efficient strategy, verify, interpret, and evaluate the results with respect to the original problem Apply problem solving strategies until a solution is found or it is clear that no solution exists Interpret and solve a variety of mathematical problems by paraphrasing Identify necessary and extraneous information Check the reasonableness of a solution Apply technology as a tool in problem solving situations Process Standard: ematical Communication Use formulas, algorithms, inquiry, and other techniques to solve mathematical problems Evaluate written and oral presentations in mathematics Identify and translate key words and phrases that imply mathematical operations Model and explain mathematical relationships using oral, written, graphic, and algebraic methods Use everyday language, both orally and in writing, to communicate strategies and solutions to mathematical problems Process Standard: ematical Reasoning Recognize and apply deductive and inductive reasoning Review and refine the assumptions and steps used to derive conclusions in mathematical arguments Justify answers and the steps taken to solve problems with and without manipulatives and physical models Process Standard: ematical Connections Use mathematical ideas from one area of mathematics to explain an idea from another area of mathematics Use manipulatives and physical models to explain the relationships between concepts and procedures Use the connections among mathematical topics to develop multiple approaches to problems Apply mathematical thinking and modeling to solve problems that arise in other disciplines, such as rhythm in music and motion in science Identify, explain, and apply mathematics in everyday life Revised July 2008 Page 1 of 10
