Level 3-4 is divided into three activity sections: geometry, algebraic thinking, and multiplication. Each section begins with an Anchor Activity followed by five or six further explorations and extensions that are connected in some way to the Anchor.
Shape Sleuths strengthens understanding of geometric shapes in all orientations with a focus on area and perimeter.
In this unit, students explore percents in depth. They begin with understanding percents as a part/whole ratio, comparing a given part to 100, which represents the original whole. In this way, the study of percent is linked to the study of proportionality, one of the big mathematical ideas of middle school mathematics.
The Teacher Guide is designed to provide background information on the mathematics being taught in this unit, the learning environment, mathematical communication and differentiated instruction. Also included:
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-In this module, the students learn about "relative position" and motion of objects. They learn how to describe accurately the position of an object relative to themselves and to another reference object by using terms, such as "in front of," "to the left of," "in back of," "to the right of," and by measuring distances from one object to another. They represent the position of objects on self-made maps and relate their maps to those of city streets and of stores in the shopping mall. They learn that objects move in many dif
