Explaining Mathematical Reasoning

Mathematics · Mathematical Thinking · meta

With teacher prompting, explain and justify mathematical reasoning using drawings, number sentences, or words

What mastery looks like

  • Explain a solution strategy using a drawing or number sentence (e.g. 'I made ten first, then added the rest')
  • Justify why an answer is correct by showing an alternative method that gives the same result
  • Identify and explain an error in a worked example or a peer's solution

Check your understanding

If you ask Explaining Mathematical Reasoning "how did you work that out?", can they show you with a drawing or explain their steps in simple words?
