Process Standard: Representation

I found the following key points within the process standard of representation:

1) Students need to use traditional methods of representation to solve problems as well as create unique representations that are meaningful to them.

2) Students should use representations as a way of organizing and understanding mathematical concepts.

3) Students will be able to apply their understanding of representations not only to mathematics but also to the world around them.

4) New technological tools provide additional methods of representation and allow students to better understand more challenging concepts.
