Mathematical Connections

Objectives:

The students will investigate connections and interplay among various mathematical topics and their applications so that all students can:


		recognize equivalent representations of the same concept;

		relate procedures in one representation to procedures in an equivalent representation;

		use and value the connections among mathematical topics;

		use and value the connections between mathematics and other disciplines.
