Alongside our state's mathematical standards are the student mathematical practice standards. One of these student practice standards includes
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts. As they work to solve problems, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the reasonableness of their intermediate results (
http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Practice/
).
This month, ask your child if they have developed a shortcut for doing some problems and ask them to explain it to you. Here is a fun website for looking for & expressing regularity in repeated reasoning:
