The central focus of the framework is mathematical problem-solving. The five inter-related components of the framework are integral parts of mathematics learning and problem-solving.
Metacognition, or “thinking about thinking”, refers to the awareness of, and the ability to control one’s thinking processes, in particular, the selection and use of problem-solving strategies.
Mathematical skills include procedural skills for numerical calculation, algebraic manipulation, spatial visualization, data analysis, measurement, use of mathematical tools, and estimation.
Mathematical processes refer to the skills involved to acquire and apply mathematical knowledge. This includes reasoning, communication, thinking skills and heuristics, and application and modeling.
Attitudes refer to the affective aspects of mathematics learning such as:
Mathematical concepts cover numerical, algebraic, geometrical, statistical, probabilistic, and analytical concepts. Students should develop the mathematics ideas in depth and as an integrated whole.
We believe in finding the right tool at the right time can light an emotional spark within children that motivates them to count more, read more, understand more, and experience learning joyfully.
