There are critical components that students must encounter in a mathematics program in order to achieve the goals of mathematics education and to encourage lifelong learning in mathematics. Students are expected to:

• communicate mathematically
• connect mathematical ideas to other concepts in mathematics, to everyday experiences and to other disciplines
• use estimation and mental mathematics where appropriate
• relate and apply new mathematical knowledge through problem solving
• reason and justify their thinking
• select and use appropriate technologies as tools to solve problems
• use visualization to assist in processing information, making connections and solving problems
