Throughout The Year A.
Mathematical
Processes
Note: Mathematical
processes need to be
embedded in all
mathematical strands
throughout the school
year. Math processes are
assessed on the WKCECRT
and reported as a
separate proficiency area.
For example, students are
asked to provide written
justifications and
explanations, pose
problems, and represent
concepts.

 
1) Reasoning: Use reasoning and logic to :
 
• Perceive patterns • Identify relationships
Formulate questions • Pose problems
• Make conjectures • Justify strategies

• Test reasonableness of results

2) Communication: Communicate mathematical ideas and
reasoning using the vocabulary of mathematics in a variety
of ways (e.g., using words, numbers, symbols, pictures,
charts, tables, diagrams, graphs , and models).

3) Connections: Connect mathematics to the real world as well
as within
mathematics.

4) Representations: Create and use re presentations to organize ,
record, and communicate mathematical ideas.

5) Problem Solving: Solve and analyze routine and non-routine
problems.

Additional lessons that
address Mathematical
Processes that could be
used as time permits.
