Mathematical Reasoning

Usescorrect mathematical
terminologyfor mathematical
reasoning. Student cant
explain strategiesverbally,
numerically, visuallyand with
diagrams.

Useseffective mathematical
reasoning. Student can
construct reasoningwith or
without manipulativesand
effectivelyexplain their
reasoningverbally.

Some evidence of
mathematical
reasoning.Student can
construct reasoningwith the
use of manipulatives.

Little evidence of
mathematical reasoning.
Student can not explain their
mathematical thinkingeven
with manipulatives.

Use of Manipulatives

Student alwayslistensand
followsdirectionsand only
usesmanipulativesas
instructed. Student doesnot
need manipulativesto
construct correct answer for
double-digit addition.

Student typicallylistensand
follows directionsand uses
manipulativesasinstructed
most of the time. Student
doesnot need manipulatives
for most questionsfor doubledigit addition.
