SIXTH GRADE
Strand: Problem Solving
1 Topic: Problem Solving Strategies, Reasoning, Estimation Strategies, Mental Computation
Standard: Solves problems, reasons, and estimates throughout mathematics.
-Selects and uses problem-solving strategies such as reading the problem, drawing a picture or diagram, using trial and error, making a table or chart, looking for patterns, making a simpler problem and then generalizing, working backwards, etc.
-Selects and uses appropriate tools (such as mental computation, calculators, manipulative materials, paper and pencil, computer) in solving problems.
-Uses appropriate estimation strategies (such as front-end, breaking numbers apart, compatible numbers, guess and check, clustering, rounding, compensation) to check the reasonableness of results.
-Solves non-routine problems for which the answer is not obvious.
-Relates concepts and skills to practical applications.
