The content of the mathematics standards supports the following five goals for students: becoming mathematical problem solvers, communicating mathematically both orally and in writing, reasoning mathematically, making mathematical connections, and representing ideas mathematically. Concepts are introduced and developed through the use of various models and representations. Students apply the concepts and skills through a wide variety of problem-solving experiences.
