The state of Vermont has adopted the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
These are the foundation of our Priority Standards.

2. Reason abstractly & quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments & critique the reasoning of others
4. Model with mathematics
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision
7. Look for & make use of structure
8. Look for & express regularity in repeated reasoning
The Standards for Mathematical Practice reflect the expertise across content areas that we seek to develop in our students.
