 * Student Attributes **

1.1 Perceives mathematics as a way of understanding - must make sense and is not to be memorized 1.2 Actively explores new ideas, posing questions about their meaning, significance, implications. 1.3 Recognizes patterns, deviations from previously learned patterns in diagrams, symbols, words. 1.4 Appreciates that generalizations and abstractions are important sources of the power of mathematics. 1.5 Is willing to take risks and be challenged as part of the learning process. 1.6 Contributes and benefits from group problem solving activities.
 * 1. Demonstrates intellectual engagement **

2.1 Attends nearly every class session and when absent, seeks ways to learn the material covered in class. 2.2 Conscientiously prepares work assigned for class. 2.3 Examines and learns from his or her errors and seeks help when needed. 2.4 Takes advantage of available resources - class time, notes, textbook, assignments, tutoring services, supplemental materials. 2.5 Sets aside time necessary too be successful.
 * 2. Takes responsibility for own learning **

3.1 Is willing to work on problems that require time and thought, particularly problems that cannot be solved by mimicking a previously seen example. 3.2 Successfully completes tasks that require organizing and implementing multiple steps, concepts, or techniques. 3.3 Recognizes when an approach is unproductive and makes logical modifications to that approach or switches to another. 3.4 Is convinced that effort is an important component of success in mathematics.
 * 3. Perseveres when faced with time consuming or complex tasks. **

4.1 Correctly follows all parts of oral and written directions without needing additional reminders. 4.2 Makes few notational errors, e.g., accidently changing digits, dropping or altering algebra symbols, incorrectly positioning points on a grid, etc.
