It is possible to understand and follow my thinking when you look at my work. I can use math words, charts, graphs, and functions in way that makes my answer better. ​I can ​almost always​ choose the best way to show the information.

When I am working on a problem like one we have practiced in class, I choose a ​strategy (strategi)​ that will ​work to give me an answer. I can ​sometimes change the strategy to make it work better for the problem I am solving. I can show the problem in a ​simple​ way like by drawing a picture or making a simple graph

When I am working on aproblem like one wehave practiced in class,I choose a ​strategy(strategi)​ that will ​workwell​ to give me ananswer. I do a ​good job​ ofchanging my strategyso that it works for theproblem I am solving. I can also makemathematical modelslike pictures, charts,graphs or equations thathelp me to solve theproblem, but I have tochange them a bit tomake them work.

When I am working on a problem like one we have practiced in class, I choose the ​best possible​​strategy(strategi) ​to give me an answer in the ​easiest way possible. I do an ​excellent job​ of changing my strategy so it works perfectly for the problem I am solving. I can also make mathematical models like pictures, charts, graphs or equations that work to help me solve the problem ​without needing to change them.
