MATHEMATICS PROCESS STANDARDS Grades 1-5 The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has identified five process standards: Problem Solving, Communication, Reasoning and Proof, Connections, and Representation. Using these processes students are actively involved in deepening mathematical understandings which lead to increasingly sophisticated abilities required to meet mathematical challenges. Following is an outline of the five process standards and associated objectives. NOTE: When examples are given there is a progression in levels of difficulty from basic to more complex skills. Process Standard 1: Problem Solving 1. Use problem-solving approaches (e.g., act out situations, represent problems with drawings and lists, use concrete, pictorial, graphical, oral, written, and/or algebraic models, understand a problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, look back). 2. Formulate problems from everyday and mathematical situations (e.g., how many forks are needed?, how many students are absent?, how can we share/divide these cookies?, how many different ways can we find to compare these fractions?). 3. Develop, test, and apply strategies to solve a variety of routine and nonroutine problems (e.g., look for patterns, make a table, make a problem simpler, process of elimination, trial and error). 4. Verify and interpret results with respect to the original problem (e.g., students explain verbally why an answer makes sense, explain in a written format why an answer makes sense, verify the validity of each step taken to obtain a final result). 5. Distinguish between necessary and irrelevant information in solving problems (e.g., play games and discuss “best” clues, write riddles with sufficient information, identify unnecessary information in written story problems). Process Standard 2: Communication 1. Express mathematical ideas coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others (e.g., with verbal ideas, models or manipulatives, pictures, or symbols). Grade 3 - Integrated Curriculum Page 10
2. Extend mathematical knowledge by considering the thinking and strategies of others (e.g., agree or disagree, rephrase another student’s explanation, analyze another student’s explanation). 3. Relate manipulatives, pictures, diagrams, and symbols to mathematical ideas. 4. Represent, discuss, write, and read mathematical ideas and concepts. Start by relating everyday language to mathematical language and symbols and progress toward the use of appropriate terminology (e.g., “add more” becomes “plus”, “repeated addition” becomes “multiplication”, “fair share” becomes “divide”, “balance the equation” becomes “solve the equation”). Process Standard 3: Reasoning 1. Explain mathematical situations using patterns and relationships (e.g., identify patterns in situations, represent patterns in a variety of ways, extend patterns to connect with more general cases). 2. Demonstrate thinking processes using a variety of age-appropriate materials and reasoning processes (e.g., manipulatives, models, known facts, properties and relationships, inductive [specific to general], deductive [general to specific], spatial, proportional, logical reasoning [“and” “or” “not”] and recursive reasoning) 3. Make predictions and draw conclusions about mathematical ideas and concepts. Predictions become conjectures and conclusions become more logical as students mature mathematically. Process Standard 4: Connections 1. Relate various concrete and pictorial models of concepts and procedures to one another (e.g., use two colors of cubes to represent addition facts for the number 5, relate patterns on a hundreds chart to multiples, use base-10 blocks to represent decimals). 2. Link concepts to procedures and eventually to symbolic notation (e.g., represent actions like snap, clap, clap with symbols A B B, demonstrate 3 • 4 with a geometric array, divide a candy bar into 3 equal pieces that represent one piece as 1/ 3). 3. Recognize relationships among different topics within mathematics (e.g., the length of an object can be represented by a number, multiplication facts can be modeled with geometric arrays, 1 / 2 can be written as .5 and 50%). 4. Use mathematical strategies to solve problems that relate to other curriculum areas and the real world (e.g., use a timeline to sequence events, use symmetry in art work, explore fractions in quilt designs and to describe pizza slices). Grade 3 - Integrated Curriculum Page 11
Process Standard 5: Representation 1. Create and use a variety of representations appropriately and with flexibility to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas (e.g., dramatizations, manipulatives, drawings, diagrams, tables, graphs, symbolic representations). 2. Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical situations (e.g., counters, pictures, tally marks, number sentences, geometric models; translate between diagrams, tables, charts, graphs). Grade 3 - Integrated Curriculum Page 12
