“Developing a balanced math program is the answer for teachers who want to ensure that their students are receiving the full range of mathematical understanding and skills.”
-Larry Ainsworth and Jan Christinson

Mathematical Process Standards

The Mathematical Process Standards describe ways in which students are expected to engage in the content and weave the other knowledge and skills together.  This allows students to become successful problem solvers, critical thinkers, and use mathematics efficiently and effectively in daily life.
The mathematical process standards are based on the following four big ideas:

  • Communication
  • Reasoning, generalizing, and problem solving
  • Analysis
  • Modeling using tools and connecting to representations
