Being precise in math means more than just getting the right answer — it’s about using the correct labels, careful calculations, clear explanations, and thoughtful communication. These skills are important not only in the classroom, but in real life too — like during Bridge Day, where safety and accuracy truly matter! Check out this short video focused on attending to precision.
