Flexible mathematical thinking—the ability to generate and connect various representations of concepts—is useful in understanding mathematical structure and variation in problem solving. Of the many important reasoning habits listed in NCTM's Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making (2009, pp. 9–10), four habits complement flexible mathematical thinking:

In Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making (2009), NCTM advocates that all high school mathematics programs have at their core reasoning and sense making. Reasoning is “the process of drawing conclusions based on evidence or stated assumptions,” and sense making is “developing understanding of a situation, concept, or context by connecting it with existing knowledge.”

The message of Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making, NCTM's new (2009) publication on high school mathematics, is simple: Reasoning and sense making provide a focus for high school mathematics that will give students a foundation for their future success. This focus continues NCTM's emphasis on mathematical processes that stretches back to the central emphasis placed on problem solving in An Agenda for Action (NCTM 1980) and forward to the Process Standards of Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000).
