Thinking and Working Mathematically
Thinking and Working
Mathematically
There are some important skills that you will develop as you learn mathematics.
Specialising
is when I choose an example
and check to see if it satisfies or
does not satisfy specific
mathematical criteria.
Characterising
is when I identify and
describe the mathematical
properties of an object.
Generalising
is when I recognise an
underlying pattern by identifying
many examples that satisfy the
same mathematical criteria.
Classifying
is when I organise objects
into groups according
to their mathematical
properties.
