About This Lesson
This Common Core resource offers helpful questions as teachers implement the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in elementary grades.
Some questions are useful in helping students develop the habits of mind referred to in the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Although these questions appear under different headings, the habits are intertwined, and many questions overlap in the kind of thinking and performance they elicit. Other questions are meant to guide students to the heart of the mathematics. Both kinds of questions are necessary to develop mathematical proficiency.
