(a) recognize and formulate problems from situations within and outside mathematics and apply solution strategies to those problems;

(b) select, apply, and evaluate appropriate estimation strategies throughout the problem-solving process;

(c) formulate definitions, make and justify inferences, express generalizations, and communicate mathematical ideas and relationships;

(d) apply and translate among different representations of the same problem situation or of the same mathematical concept;

(e) model connections between problem situations that arise in disciplines other than mathematics; and

(f) select and use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical understanding. Appropriate technology may include, but is not limited to, paper and pencil, calculator, computer, and data collection devices.
