Verbs in CCGPS Math Standards

[KAH]

I am currently in the process of analyzing our standards for mathematics and was wondering if the verbs used in our standards have a pedagogical rationale or whether the various verbs were used for aesthetic reasons, such as to avoid repetitive text. This is important to me as I look to help educators determine what it means for a student to “perform well” for each standard. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Are you talking about the Common Core or some other standards? I suspect the latter because the Common Core doesn’t use the phrase “perform well.” I wasn’t sure what you meant by “pedagogical rationale” or “aesthetic reasons.” If you give me an example of what you are talking about I can try to help.
