Appendix A
New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards For Mathematics
4.1 All students will develop the ability to pose and
solve mathematical problems in mathematics, other disciplines,
and everyday experiences
4.2 All students will communicate mathematically through
written, oral, symbolic, and visual forms of expression.
4.3 All students will connect mathematics to other
learning by understanding the interrelationships of
mathematical ideas and the roles that mathematics and
mathematical modeling play in other disciplines and
in life.
4.4 All students will develop reasoning ability and
will become self-reliant, independent mathematical thinkers.
4.5 All students will regularly and routinely use calculators,
computers, manipulatives, and other mathematical tools
to enhance mathematical thinking, understanding, and
power.
4.6 All students will develop number sense and an ability
to represent numbers in a variety of forms and use numbers
in diverse situations.
4.7 All students will develop spatial sense and an
ability to use geometric properties and relationships
to solve problems in mathematics and in everyday life.
4.8 All students will understand, select, and apply
various methods of performing numerical operations.
4.9 All students will develop an understanding of and
will use measurement to describe and analyze phenomena.
4.10 All students will use a variety of estimation
strategies and recognize situations in which estimation
is appropriate.
4.11 All students will develop an understanding of
patterns, relationships, and functions and will use
them to represent and explain real-world phenomena.
4.12 All students will develop an understanding of
statistics and probability and will use them to describe
sets of data, model situations, and support appropriate
inferences and arguments.
4.13 All students will develop an understanding of
algebraic concepts and processes and will use them to
represent and analyze relationships among variable quantities
and to solve problems.
4.14 All students will apply the concepts and methods
of discrete mathematics to model and explore a variety
of practical situations.
4.15 All students will develop an understanding of
the conceptual building blocks of calculus and will
use them to model and analyze natural phenomena.
4.16 All students will demonstrate high levels of mathematical
thought through experiences which extend beyond traditional
computation, algebra, and geometry. |
