students’ proficiency in applying them must be developed in all strands of a mathematics course. Teachers should ensure that students develop their ability to apply these processes in appropriate ways as they work towards meeting the expectations outlined in the strands.
When developing detailed courses of study from this document, teachers are expected to weave together related expectations from different strands, as well as the relevant process expectations, in order to create an overall program that integrates and balances concept development, skill acquisition, the use of processes, and applications.
Many of the specific expectations are accompanied by examples and/or sample problems. These examples and sample problems are meant to illustrate the kind of skill, the specific area of learning, the depth of learning, and/or the level of complexity that the expectation entails. Some examples and sample problems may also be used to emphasize the impor- tance of diversity or multiple perspectives. The examples and sample problems are intended only as suggestions for teachers. Teachers may incorporate the examples and sample problems into their lessons, or they may choose other topics, approaches, or problems that are relevant to the expectation.
