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.
