Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science, and Technology at Three Levels

Standard 1: Commencement
Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.

Mathematical Analysis

1. Abstraction and symbolic representation are used to communicate mathematically.

Students:

use algebraic and geometric representations to describe and compare data.

2. Deductive and inductive reasoning are used to reach mathematical conclusions.

Students:

use deductive reasoning to construct and evaluate conjectures and arguments, recognizing that patterns and relationships in mathematics assist them in arriving at these conjectures and arguments.

3. Critical thinking skills are used in the solution of mathematical problems.

Students:

apply algebraic and geometric concepts and skills to the solution of problems.
