In my classroom, my students are able to interact with each other, as well as work independently, just like adults. They are learning to focus on solving performance task. My students often use their textbooks as a resource. The students in my class are learning how, and when to use manipulatives and technology (such as calculators and computers) as problem-solving tools. They are beginning to use math to solve real life problems, and not just practicing a collection of isolated skills. They are learning to use common sense to help analyze scenarios that involve math problems. They work in large and small groups to discuss and explain their thinking while solving complex problems. They are able to create and discuss alternative solutions to real world problems. The students are learning to seek the best solution among several options to solve each problem. Students are able to explain more than one way to solve a problem and defend the choice they selected. They are also working in groups to prove solutions to problems with each group member highly involved. They have the potential to communicate mathematical ideas to one another through examples, demonstrations, models, drawings, and logical arguments.
