Students who have a deep understanding of mathematics content

• make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
• reason abstractly and quantitatively
• construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
• represent real-world situations with mathematical modeling
• use appropriate tools strategically (manipulatives, calculators, etc.)
• use definitions, calculations, and estimations with the appropriate level of precision
• look for and make use of patterns and structure
• and look for and express generalities within mathematics.
