Students combine their knowledge, skills and understanding to solve a problem and to construct meaning of a mathematical rule or relation. Thus, the focus is not the answer, but the critical thinking skills developed and enhanced through the exploration of connections, invention of strategies, social negotation of ideas, and application of strategies.
