Students start to examine problems by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and restating the problem in their own words. These students analyze the given information in the problem, including constraints, relationships, and goals. Students make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution, devise a plan, and solve. They will consider both similar problems, and simpler forms of the original problem, in order to gain insight and efficiency in problem solving. Students monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Students may utilize algebraic methods or technology. Students explain relationships between equations and the following: descriptions/situations, tables, and graphs. Students produce diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for patterns or trends. They check answers to problems and continually ask if the solution makes sense in context. They understand different approaches to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
