From Kindergarten to Grade 12, students use seven critical processes
to build their understanding of mathematics and to support lifelong learning:
- Communication — showing learning orally, through diagrams, and in writing.
- Connections — making connections among everyday situations, other subject areas, and mathematics concepts.
- Estimation/Mental Mathematics — developing understanding of numbers and quantities.
- Problem Solving — investigating problems, including those with multiple solutions.
- Reasoning — justifying thinking.
- Technology — using technology to enhance problem solving and encourage discovery of number patterns.
- Visualization — drawing on mental images to clarify concepts.
