From the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education: =Developing Literacies= Through their mathematical learning experiences, students should be engaged in developing their understandings of the language of mathematics and their ability to use mathematics as a language and representation __system__. Students should be regularly engaged in exploring a variety of representations for mathematical concepts and should be expected to communicate in a variety of ways about the mathematics being learned. Important aspects of learning mathematical lanuguage are to make sense of mathematics, communicate one's own understandings, and develop strategies to explore what and how others know about mathematics. Moreover, students should be aware of and able to make the appropriate use of technology in mathematics and mathematics learning. It is important to encourage students to use a variey of forms of representation (concrete manipulatives; physical movement; oral, written, visual, and other symbolic forms) when exporing mathematical ideas, solving problems, and communicating understanding. __Other Links Related to Developing Literacies__
