What is the difference between the National Standards and the West Virginia Standards

They have different names and different wording because there was a lot of push back from parents and funding but essentially they are the same. National is known as the SMPs whereas State is the MHMs

MHM 1 - Making Connections

Try and build that text-to-text connection with past problems. Can you make a connection with another problem you have solved before ? How will you solve? Do you have a plan? How can you check your answer?

MHM 2 - Reason Quantitatively

Can you write a matching equation? Can you connect the numbers and symbols?

MHM 3 - Viable Arguments

Defend your answer. Explain it to me. How do you know it is correct? Can you share your thinking in. alogical manner?

MHM 4 - Model Mathematics

How can you use math to solve this problem? Connect it to a real life problem/situation,

What tools do you need and how can they help you solve this problem? Having all tools at their disposal. (Manipulatives) Can you estimate the problem first?

Be precise when communicating to others. What do the symbols mean? What units of measurement are you using? Can you explain the terms?

MHM 7 - Make use of Structure

Is there a pattern? Use patterns/structure to your ability. Did you notice a connection to any other problems?

MHM 8 - Repeated reasoning

Creating those "shortcuts". Students find familiarity and pattern and find a shorter way to suit their needs.

Understanding the "why" behind the math. Knowing what it means and how the ideas are connected and why it works.

Knowing the "steps" and how to carry out the process to solve the problem.

They both help students become strong, confident math learners. Both are needed to help solve problems effectively.

How are the Different?

Conceptual is a deeper understanding and tends to last longer whereas procedural can be used and forgotten much easier. Conceptual allows for reasoning through.

Example of Conceptual

Understanding why 1/2 is larger than 1/3

Example of Procedural

Following long division steps solving 2 digit problems with regrouping

Discalcula indicators

Difficulty remembering math facts. Problems understanding sequence. Trouble learning to count or staying on track while counting. Difficulty recognizing numbers or connecting numbers to quantities.

1. Understand the problem 2. Make a plan 3. Do the plan 4. Look back (Reflect)
