The Student Mathematician’s Journal allows students to explore simulated or real-life problems and help them to think, write, and read like mathematicians. It encourages students to reflect on what they have learned in each lesson, think deeply about mathematics, and communicate in writing on worksheets.
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
The Student Mathematician’s Journal is a unique feature of our Project A3 series. It is modeled after the successful use of these journals in our award-winning Project M3 series. In these journals, the students are asked to reflect on what they have learned and write about it.
Level 4-5 is divided into three activity sections:
The OpenSciEd elementary science program aligns with all NGSS standards for elementary education.
