â?¢ Build new mathematical knowledge through open-ended questions and more-extended exploration;
â?¢ Allow students to recognize and choose a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems;
â?¢ Think & Discuss and Share & Summarize to allow students to reflect on their own and other strategies for solving problems.
2 - Reasoning & Proof:
Instructional programs should enable all students to...
â?¢ Recognize and create conjectures based on patterns they observe;
