Mathematics Curriculum Framework
PROBLEM SOLVING AND REASONING
1a. K-12 Broad Goal: Students will use problem-solving strategies to investigate and
understand increasingly complex mathematical content.
PURPOSE: Problem solving should serve as the organizing feature of the mathematics
curriculum as well as other areas of study and be applied to everyday activities.
Problem-solving must not be seen as a separate topic, but rather the centerpiece
of the mathematics curriculum. Students should have many experiences in posing
and solving problems from their world, from data that are meaningful to them,
and from mathematical investigations.
7-12 Building upon the K-6 experiences, in grades 7-12:
• Determine, collect and organize the relevant data needed to solve real-world problems.
TE: 292-299, 492, 554-559
PE: 292-299, 492, 554-559
• Determine the reasonableness of solutions to real-world problems.
TE: 27, 34, 83, 530
PE: 34, 530
• Use technology whenever appropriate to solve real-world problems which require
strategies previously learned.
