NCTM Standards in Action The Process Standard: Communication
Klaus Puhlmann
NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) identifies 10 standards that form an essential and comprehensive foundation for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 as they learn mathematics. The standards are divided into five content standards (number and operation, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability) and five process standards (problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections and representation). This article focuses on one process standard: communication.
