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.
