Attitude/Disposition/Habits of Mind - source list

1. Reflective - Curious and willingly open-minded to consider explaining ideas based on evidence and reasoning against previous ideas based on evidence reasoning in mathematical ways.
2. Respect for evidence and objectivity. Insistent on evidence. Requires evidence to formulate explanations, make decisions, and will seek proof to verify ideas and make decisions.
3. Persistent, grit - Continues despite obstacles, warnings or setbacks.
4. Responsible - take actions for personal understanding and learning.
5. Values communication - Seeks ways to communicate that effectively enable others to accurately conceptualize the ideas wanting to be communicated.
