Important Points of CCSSM 3 and 5


Standard 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
This standard explains that students who are mathematically proficient construct an argument by understanding and using stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results. These students can also justify their conclusions and communicate them to others, and also be able to respond to others arguments. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare two plausible arguments and be able to identify what is logic information and what information is flawed.


Standard 5 Use appropriate tools strategically. 
This strategy explains that mathematical proficient students can identify the available tools the student has and considers what to use to solve a problem. Students can identify what tools are appropriate to their grade level and how to use them and when they are useful. Mathematically proficient students are also able to identify when there are possible errors by using estimation and other mathematical knowledge.
