Strands of Mathematical

The document outlines 5 strands of mathematical proficiency according to the National Research Council: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, strategic competence, adaptive reasoning, and productive disposition. Conceptual understanding involves comprehending mathematical concepts, operations, and relations. Procedural fluency is skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately. Strategic competence is the ability to formulate, represent, and solve mathematical problems. Adaptive reasoning is the capacity for logical thought, reflection, explanation, and justification. Productive disposition is seeing mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in diligence and one's own efficacy.
