- You already can do this. So we go up a level, not up a number: find what is always true, show it a second way, and be ready to defend it with a reason instead of an answer.
- In September I estimated the Ferris wheel: 20 cars with about 4 riders each is 20 × 4 = 80 riders — 'about 80.'
- Now I can go further with this year's math: at 6 turns an hour, that wheel moves about 80 × 6 = 480 riders per hour.
- Same wheel, same me — but my toolbox grew. That difference IS my math story.
- In September we decomposed 78.5 as 70 + 8.5 and 80 − 1.5.
- This year we learned new ways to say the same number: 78.5 = 157 ÷ 2.
- And with percents: 50% of 157 = 78.5.
- Find one more way to write 78.5 using something you learned this year.
- Now prove it: say why that move had to work at all — not just that it did.
- Sentence frame — convince a skeptic: "My method works because ___ . It would stop working if ___ ."
- math biography (biografía matemática) — The story of your relationship with math — and how it has changed over time.
- reflect (reflexionar) — To look back at what you did, felt, and learned, and think about what it means.
- growth (crecimiento) — The change between what you could do before and what you can do now.
- confidence (confianza) — Trusting yourself to try a problem, even when the first attempt might fail.
- community (comunidad) — The people and places around you — where math shows up outside the classroom.
- Treating your math story as finished — writing the same answers you wrote in Lesson 1-1 instead of looking for what actually changed. The story grows and evolves; a retrospective that copies September has missed the point.
