New York State Curriculum Standards (S)
Standard 1 - Analysis, Inquiry, and Design
| Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions. |
Elementary (E),Intermediate (I) and Commencement (C)
Mathematical Analysis |
| 1. |
Abstraction and symbolic representations are used to create mathematically |
| 2. |
Deductive and inductive reasoning are used to reach mathematical conclusions. |
| 3. |
Critical thinking skills are used in the solution of mathematical problems |
|
Scientific Inquiry
|
| 1. |
The central purpose of scientific inquiry is to develop explanations of natural phenomenon in a continuing, creative process. |
| 2. |
Beyond the use of reasoning and consensus, scientific inquiry involves the testing of proposed explanations involving the use of conventional techniques and procedures and usually requiring considerable ingenuity. |
| 3. |
The observations made while testing proposed explanations, when analyzed using conventional and invented methods, provide new insights into phenomena. |
| Engineering Design |
| 1. |
Engineering design is an iterative process involving modeling and optimization finding the best solution within a given constraint which is used to develop technological solutions to problems with given constraints.
