Using and Applying Mathematics – Reasoning

  1. Step 6
    Draw simple conclusions and explain reasoning; suggest extensions to problems; conjecture and generalise. View step.

  2. Step 7
    Use logical argument to establish the truth of a statement; begin to give mathematical justifications and test by checking particular cases. View step.

  3. Step 8
    Present a concise reasoned argument, using symbols, diagrams, graphs and related explanatory texts. View step.

  4. Step 9
    Show some insight into mathematical structure by using pattern and symmetry to justify generalisations, arguments or solutions. View step.

  5. Step 10
    Appreciate the difference between mathematical explanation and experimental evidence. View step.
