CCSS Mathematical Practice 1Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution.
They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals.
They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt.
