Performance Indicator	1 Beginning	2 Developing	3 Proficient	4 Distinguished
MP1. I can make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (CCSS.Math.SMP.1)		I can understand given information, obstacles and the goal of a given problem.	I can understand, plan, solve and check my solution for a given problem.  I continue to work at solving when confronted with setbacks.	I can share my understanding, planning, and solutions with others.
MP2. I can construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (CCSS.Math.SMP.3)		I can state my solutions to problems and understand other ways of solving them.	I can accurately explain how I find solutions, describe solution approaches of others, and identify strengths and weaknesses of each.	I can  justify my solutions precisely using evidence and sound reasoning, integrate elements of other solution strategies to improve them, and exclude other possible solutions.
MP3. I can use appropriate math tools strategically. (CCSS.Math.SMP.5)		When given specific tools, I can use them to solve mathematical problems.	I can select suitable mathematical and technological tools to solve problems, and explain why I chose them.	I can combine different tools to make conceptual real life connections, solve problems, and optimize solution processes.
