Which NCTM math process standards—problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation—did you encounter more throughout your years of learning mathematics?

I seem to remember having to do a lot of problem solving. These are really difficult if a student hasn't truly understanding their numbers and operations.

I think that there were times I felt lost because I was just following the motion, but never truly grasped my numbers and operations.

Having to problem solve became a challenge and it discourage me in math. I really hope that I can as a teacher show my students several methods of understanding the numbers and operations, so that when we get to problem solving, they can be creative in finding the solutions.
