The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics adopted by most of the states in the United States offer a set of mathematical practice standards as part of the expectations for all students. The practice standards suggest mathematical "habits of mind" teachers should cultivate in their students about ways of thinking and doing mathematics. With the teacher as a facilitator and using the right questions, dynamic interactive technology can be an effective tool in providing opportunities for students to engage in tasks that make these practices central in reasoning and doing the mathematics.
