    • Attend to precision (#5). Students work to improve their ability to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently and express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context. They give carefully formulated explanations to each other.
    • Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information (#9). Students work to improve their ability to communicate clearly and persuasively the ideas and methods they use and generate, both individually and in groups. They communicate information and ideas in multiple ways, including using tables, diagrams, graphs, models, and equations as well as orally, in writing, and through extended discussions. They employ multiple sources of information (including experiences, observations, and texts) that they use to understand, formulate, and evaluate the merit and validity of claims, methods, designs, and solutions.
