• understand numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems;
• understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another;
• compute fluently and make reasonable estimates.

Algebra

Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to--

• understand patterns, relations, and functions;
• represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols;
• use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships;
• analyze change in various contexts.

Measurement

Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to--

• understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement;
• apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements.

Data Analysis and Probability

Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to--

• formulate questions that can be addressed with data and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them;
• select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data;

Problem Solving

Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to--

• build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving;
• solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts;
• apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems;
