 * Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
 * Model with mathematics.
 * Use appropriate tools strategically.
 * Attend to precision.
 * Look for and make use of structure.
 * Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
 * //The quantitative reasoning habits students need to learn are primarily// //simple and non-technical//.
 * Be able to think and reason quantitatively when the situation so demands.
 * //Requires reasoning based on mathematical properties and relations.//
 * Having the capacity to engage others in working together to think critically, reason analytically and to solve a problem.
 * //To educate citizens to attend to numbers, to understand them, and to think thoughtfully and critically about them.//
 * What Iowa Core standards?
 * Yes, it works.
 * Yes, it works.
 * Analyze the problem solving plans in the videos.
 * Evaluate the quality of the plans and the decide if they provide evidence that can be used to support a solid conclusion.
