Standard 6: Attend to Precision

Clip 32/43: Standard 6: Attend to Precision Using Rate of Change Part 2D

Overview

Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning.

Antoinette Villarin reminds her student pairs that — once they are confident about a match between graphs — they should record their matches and explain their justification, ensuring that both partners in each student pair understand and can explain their reasoning.

Student pairs discuss and record their thinking on their recording sheets. Antoinette circulates among the pairs and engages them in explaining their thinking — for example, reminding them to identify the starting situation to help guide them.

This clip also relates to standard 1 (make sense of problems and persevere in solving them).
