A conclusion is a final part of something, where all the information, evidence, and reasoning come together to form a final decision, judgment, or opinion. In the context of mathematics, a conclusion is the final statement or result that can be drawn from the given data, facts, or problem-solving process.
How to Reach a Conclusion in Math
When solving math problems, reaching a conclusion involves several steps:
Understanding the Problem: Read the problem carefully to understand what is being asked and what information is given.
Understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems.
Develop understanding of the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers and of ordinal and cardinal numbers and their connections.
Grade 1 Curriculum Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: Developing an understanding of whole number relationships, including grouping in tens and ones
Children compare and order whole numbers (at least to 100) to develop an understanding of and solve problems involving the relative sizes of these numbers. They think of whole numbers between 10 and 100 in terms of groups of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 11 to 19 as 1 group of ten and particular numbers of ones). They understand the sequential order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes and represent numbers on a number line.
