Because mathematical processes are used in all areas of mathematics, the above visual represents the organization of Ohio's mathematics standards.
Number, Number Sense and Operations Standard
Students demonstrate number sense, including an understanding of number systems and operations and how they relate to one another. Students compute fluently and make reasonable estimates using paper and pencil, technology supported and mental methods.
Measurement Standard
Students estimate and measure to a required degree of accuracy and precision by selecting and using appropriate units, tools and technologies.
Geometry and Spatial Sense Standard
Students identify, classify, compare and analyze characteristics, properties and relationships of one-, two-, and three-dimesional geometric figures and objects. Students use spatial reasoning, properties of geometric objects, and transformations to analyze mathematical situations and solve problems.
Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard
Students use patterns, relations, and functions to model, represent and analyze problem situations that involve variable quantities. Students analyze, model and solve problems using various representations such as tables, graphs and equations.
Data Analysis and Probability Standard
Students pose questions and collect, organize, represent, interpret and analyze data to answer those quesitons. Students develop and evaluate inferences, predictions and arguments that are based on data.
Mathematical Process Standard
Students use mathematical processes and knowledge to solve problems. Students apply problem-solving and decision-making techniques, and communicate mathematical ideas.
