[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which math standards, specifically, require "explaining in great detail in abstract terms at young ages"? Please link to at least one or two specific math standards.

(And as for the PARCC tests -- you seem to think you have a crystal ball. I think you have a Magic 8 Ball.)[/quote]

Different poster, but on the issue of explaining in detail in abstrict terms, scroll down to "Math Practices".   
http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/3/introduction/

Since you probably work for some core-related entity, no doubt ths language will be expunged/revised by noon.   [/quote]

Ok, I went to "Math Practices". This is what it says:

Mathematical Practices
1)Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2)Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3)Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4)Model with mathematics.
5)Use appropriate tools strategically.
6)Attend to precision.
7)Look for and make use of structure.
8)Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Which parts of this illustrate explaining in detail in abstract terms...

2, 3, and 8.   
Just ask my eight year old.[/quote]
