NCTM Process Standards

• Problem Solving
• Reasoning and Proof
• Communication
• Connections
• Representation
• Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
• Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems
• Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena

Link to NCTM Principles and Standards

"The goal in mathematics education is for students to:

• Develop fluency in basic computational skills.
• Develop an understanding of mathematical concepts.
• Become mathematical problem solvers who can recognize and solve routine problems readily and can find ways to reach a solution or goal where no routine path is apparent.
• Communicate precisely about quantities, logical relationships, and unknown values through the use of signs, symbols, models, graphs, and mathematical terms.
• Reason mathematically by gathering data, analyzing evidence, and building arguments to support or refute hypotheses.
• Make connections among mathematical ideas and between mathematics and other disciplines."
