Mathematical processes connect theprocedural to the
conceptual.Through the action of processstandards, students display
theirinteraction with the mathematics thatdevelops into a deeper
understandingfor all.(Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008) 6. Turn
and TalkHow students learn is just asimportant as what students
learn. 7. Experiencing Communication and Connections Read the
instructions below, thenplan your actions using thethinking sheet

pieces need to be ofdifferent lengths Be prepared to prove your
work. 8. If you were to place avalue or a number oneach piece, what
wouldthey be?Think Pair Share 9. Communication One of the 7
mathematical process standards Talking and writing are critical

students have saidand then asking for clarificationSo youre saying
its an odd number?2. Repeating Asking students to restate
