Standards for Mathematical Practice http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Practice/ What do students use, think about, and do?

8 Standards for Mathematical Practice MP1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. MP2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. MP3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. MP4. Model with mathematics. MP5. Use appropriate tools strategically. MP6. Attend to precision. MP7. Look for and make use of structure. MP8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

MP6. Attend to precision. Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine claims and make explicit use of definitions.
