SFMP #1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

I kept trying until I found

one way to solve the
problem. I can explain
what I did.

I couldnt figure out the

problem so I gave up.

I continued to try until I found

a way to solve the problem. I
can explain what I did to find
the solution. I know, and
understand, more than one way
to solve the problem.

SFMP #2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

I had trouble making

connections and thinking
through this problem.

I made sense of the numbers

and used them to represent the
relationships in the problem. I
reviewed my answer to make
sure it made sense. I used
proper symbols and units.

I used numbers to
represent situations and
make connections. I
reached a conclusion and
checked my answer.

SFMP #3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

I can explain my thoughts
that led to my solution. My
peers and I discussed our
work, and I understand
what they did.

I cant explain how I got

my solution. I dont
understand what my peers
did to solve the problem.

I can use appropriate

vocabulary to explain my
work and other students
work. I can identify strengths
and weaknesses of all
solutions.

SFMP #4 Model with mathematics.

I did not use symbols or
pictures to try to understand
the problem. I do not see
how the problem relates to
real life.

I used models and symbols

to represent and solve the
problem. I can explain how
the models connect to the
problem and real life.

I used models to break

down the problem and
symbols to work through
it. I can relate the math to
my life.

SFMP #5 Use appropriate tools strategically.

I properly used the correct

tools to find the solution.

I did not use any tools to

find the solution.

I selected the best tools and

used them properly to solve
the problem. I can explain my
reasons for choosing them.

10

SFMP #6 Attend to precision.

I was not careful, and I

didnt check my work.

I showed my work and made sure

that everyone can understand it. I
made sure I answered the question.
I included appropriate vocabulary,
units, and labels.

I worked carefully and

paid attention to details. I
checked my work and
labeled my answer.

SFMP #7 Look for and make use of structure.

I did not see a pattern.

This problem does not
connect to other things I
already know.

I used a pattern to solve the

problem. I see how the parts
are organized to find the
solution. I made connections to
things I have already learned.

I looked for a pattern. I broke

the problem down into smaller
parts. I tried to make
connections to things that I
already know.

10

SFMP #8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Nothing in the problem

repeated so I couldnt use
any short cuts.

I noticed that calculations

repeated and used a more
efficient method to solve the
problem. I determined that my
approach and solution make
sense.

I looked for repetition and

short cuts to solve the
problem.
