Below you will find each of the 8 CCSS Mathematical Practices listed in bold. Following each practice are some suggested questions to ask that will assist in the implementation of each practice. These are questions that both teachers and students can aks.
MP1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
•What does the problem ask?
•How can I solve the problem?
•Can I verbally or in writing explain my solution?
•Does my solution make sense?
•What other way might I try to solve this problem?
MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively
•Which symbols do I use to represent this problem?
•Can I identify the important numbers to use to help solve this problem?
•Can I identify the operations to be used to solve this problem?
•Are there number properties that can help solve this problem?
MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
•How did you (I) get that?
•Why is that true (ask questions of yourself and others)?
MP4: Model with mathematics
•How many ways can I represent the problem?
•Will a table, chart, diagram, picture, or graph help?
MP5: Use appropriate tools strategically
•Which tools are useful for me to solve this problem?
•Will I need a ruler, protractor, computer, calculator, and or any other tools?
•What prior knowledge can help me solve this problem?
MP6: Attend to precision
•What language will help me describe and understand this problem?
•Can I define the terms used?
•Are all symbols used clearly understood?
•If labels are used are they accurate?
MP7: Look for and make use of structure
•Are there patterns in the information that will help solve this problem?
•Can I break down components of the problem into smaller pieces?
MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
•Is this problem like others I have solved before?
•Are there methods I have used before which I can repeat here?
•Are there any shortcuts which might be useful?
