• Problem-solving: recall, select and use their knowledge of mathematical skills, results, and models in both real and abstract contexts to solve problems.
• Communication and interpretation: transform common realistic contexts into mathematics; comment on the context; sketch or draw mathematical diagrams, graphs or constructions both on paper and using technology; record methods, solutions, and conclusions using standardized notation.
• Technology: use technology, accurately, appropriately and efficiently both to explore new ideas and to solve problems.
• Reasoning: construct mathematical arguments through the use of precise statements, logical deduction and inference, and by the manipulation of mathematical expressions.
• Inquiry approaches: investigate unfamiliar situations, both abstract and real-world, involving organizing and analysing information, making conjectures, drawing conclusions and testing their validity.
