Includes:

  • Capturing Quantities: encouraging abstract and quantitative reasoning
  • Connecting Representations: noticing and using mathematical structure
  • Recognizing Repetition: developing repeated reasoning skills
  • Three Reads: starting and sustaining thinking in problem solving situations
