A primary
goal for the study of mathematics is that it make sense to students.
In all classes students are given experiences that promote their
ability to solve problems and that build mathematics from situations
generated within the context of everyday experiences. Students are
expected to make conjectures and conclusions and to discuss their
reasoning in both written and spoken words, with pictures, graphs,
charts; and with manipulatives. They are also asked to make connections
between topics in mathematics, between the concrete and the abstract,
between concepts and skills, and between mathematics and other areas
in the curriculum.
