“Along with content knowledge, students need an understanding of the processes
used by mathematicians. They must learn to problem solve, communicate
their ideas, reason through math situations, prove their conjectures,
make connections between and among math concepts, and represent their
mathematical thinking.”
-Susan O’Connell
