Mathematics
PCSD is committed to instruction in mathematics that aligns with Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics and the coordinating Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) Standards. The B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics tell us what students must learn and be able to do. The MTRs tell us how students should be learning. The MTRs are written in clear language so all stakeholders can understand them and students can use them as self-monitoring tools. The MTR Standards promote deeper learning and understanding of mathematics. These are listed below for ease of reference
MTR.1.1 Actively participate in effortful learning both individually and collectively
MTR.2.1 Demonstrate understanding by representing problems in multiple ways
MTR.3.1 Complete tasks with mathematical fluency
MTR.4.1 Engage in discussions that reflect on the mathematical thinking of self and others
MTR.5.1 Use patterns and structure to help understand and connect mathematical concepts
MTR.6.1 Assess the reasonableness of solutions
MTR.7.1 Apply mathematics to real-world contexts
