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.
