3. Standards for Mathematical Practice
Make sense of problems & persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for & make use of structure.
Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning.

4. Model with Mathematics
Apply mathematics to solve problems in the real world
Make assumptions and approximations to simplify
Identify important quantities and map relationships among them
Interpret mathematical results in context and make adjustments to the model

5. Cell Growth and Cell Division

6. What happens in school?
Elementary children writing mathematical statements to describe situations
Students using mathematics to summarize and interpret data in science and other fields
Students creating lines of best fit for data

7. Use appropriate tools strategically
Consider available mathematical tools
Know enough about tools to make informed decisions
Recognize strengths and limitations of tools
Identify and use relevant external tools, including technological resources

8. What are mathematical tools?
Tools for doing mathematics
Paper and pencil
Calculators & Spreadsheets
Measuring Tools
