 * Explicit:

 * to foster development of student capacity to articulate and share understanding
 * to encourage students to consider ways math content is relevant to and connects with the world beyond the classroom
 * to create artifacts of student learning process
 * Tacit:
 * to support student development of skills necessary for effective and succinct communication
