The most important Mathematical Porcess.

Processes in Mathematics include:

1.Problem Solving
2.Reasoning and Proving
3.Reflecting
4.Select Tools and computational strategies
5.Connecting
6.Representing
7.Communicating


After reading and watching ahead a bit (out of curiosity), I had my original ideas that communicating and reflecting were the most important processes. From an English teacher's perspective, these process are the most important because of the collaboration and possibilities for editing and proofreading. The process though I feel is important for students to acquire is "problem-solving", the process in which students need to acquire is one in which they are able to make mistakes and reconsider alternatives to it. In English, there is not as big a need for trial and error unless referring to the process of learning. In Math, the other processes are generally all equally important. I do believe though that the problem solving in the subject area of Math allows for students to develop and acquire the basis of all the processes listed (to an extent).
