How do students construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others?

9/29/2015

0 Comments

 
The third of the eight Common Core Math Practice Standards advocates developing a habit/practice that is probably the most crucial one to have once students enter the workforce.

Being able to think analytically, explain ones thinking, building a compelling argument, critiquing and responding to another's point of view - these are all key traits needed to build successful careers. Math offers plenty of opportunities to build these traits if the appropriate learning activities and the right kind of questions are asked. I'm really happy that the MP3 standard addresses this.

I created this Infographic to summarize what this standard - MP3 - Construct Viable Arguments and Critique the Reasoning of others means, how teachers and students can implement it and what questions to ask in class to build this Mathematical practice.

Need inspiration for helping students reason abstractly and quantitatively? Check this detailed Infographic on how to implement Common Core Mathematical Practice Standard MP2 - Reason Abstractly and Quantitatively. 

This visually explains what contextualize, decontextualize and reason quantitatively means. It shows what actions teachers and students need to take to implement this standard, the attributes a Math task should have and what kind of questions to ask to develop the Mathematical thinking as described in this standard.

In our previous post, we published an Infographic poster listing the 8 Pillars for a Solid Math foundation. In this Infographic, we look at the first of the Common Core Mathematical Practice Standards - MP1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.   It answers the following questions:

How do teachers and students implement it?  
What type of Math tasks should you use to implement it? 
What kind of questions should you ask to develop students' Mathematical thinking for this practice standard?
