Why Reasoning?

Tasks that focus on reasoning typically have more than one answer or MANY answers. Often the answer is dependent upon the individuals reasoning about why they arrived at their solution. The focus is on the individual to provide appropriate reasoning for their thinking - convincing others of their ideas or thoughts. Like most things, reasoning must be developed through multiple exposures over time.
