Field Detail

TECHNICAL

public static final MathBridgeProcess TECHNICAL

1. Technical competency This competency characterizes the technical mastery of mathematical concepts and procedures. This competency requires for instance technical abilities such as: - drawing a graph - solving of equations - simplifying mathematical terms - differentiating a function - use of computational (CAS, DGS, …) and non-computational tools

SOLVING

public static final MathBridgeProcess SOLVING

2. Mathematical problem solving competency This competency requires the understanding and solving of mathematical problems. This competency requires - understanding of mathematical problems and concepts, - solving mathematical problems, - making conclusions on mathematical concepts.

MODELING

public static final MathBridgeProcess MODELING

3. Modelling competency This competency relates to the modelling of real world problems. This requires the following mathematical activities: - analysis of real world problems, - transformation of the given situation to a reduced real model, - mathematization of the reduced model to a mathematical model, - interpretation of results in view of the real world situation.

REASONING

public static final MathBridgeProcess REASONING

4. Communication and reasoning competency This competency reflects abilities that concern the communication, representation and explanation of mathematical content. This competency requires - interpretation of mathematical concepts (definition, theorems, correlations of concepts, …) and the ability to explain them , - communicating mathematical proofs, - communicating mathematical solving and results, - application of mathematical reasoning.
