The Three ComponentsThe Three Components

•Conceptual Understanding consists of those relationships constructed internally and connected to already existing ideas.

•Procedural Fluency is the skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately.

•Problem Solving is the ability to formulate, represent, and solve mathematical problems.

The Five Process StrandsThe Five Process Strands

Performance Indicators which:• highlight ways of acquiring and using content

knowledge• give meaning to mathematics as a discipline

rather than a set of isolated skills• engage students in mathematical content as

they solve problems, reason mathematically, prove mathematical relationships, participate in mathematical connections, and model and represent mathematical ideas

15
