I figured that I could at least align the work I’ve already been doing about developing activity structures for teaching problem-solving and problem-solving strategies to the process standards.

Here’s my first attempt at that. The Practice Standards section describes certain behaviors that students who understand the concept in question might engage in: The authors hypothesize that without understanding the concept, students will revert to procedures and not do any of above behaviors.
