Standard 5: “Use Appropriate Tools Strategically”
Mathematically proficient students are:
o Abel to consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem
o Familiar with tools appropriate for their grade or course to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained and their limitations
o Able to identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to pose or solve problems
o Able to use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts
