Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them … encourageS students to discover different ways of finding and solving problems.
Reason Abstractly and Quantitatively – Students can express abstract concepts and demonstrate their understandings of quantitative relationships such as variables through visual representations
Model with Mathematics – … activities challenge students to represent previously learned equations, data comparisons, or other mathematical relationships
Look for and Make Use of patterns
