The Student Mathematician’s Journal presents simulated or real-life problems that encourage students to think, write, and read like mathematicians. They are asked to reflect on what they have learned and communicate in writing on worksheets.
Students explore the ideas of expressions, equations and the equal sign. Throughout the unit, students travel to a shopping bazaar to provide the background for
In this unit, students explore algebra as a system of concepts used to represent relationships. They learn to express these relationships using words, equations, tables, and graphs. By exploring world records, some of the most astonishing feats ever achieved, they see algebra in action and even start imagining their own record-breaking possibilities. They also learn about algebra as a style of mathematical thinking for formalizing patterns of change. They extend their notion of variable from a letter in an equation that represents a number to a broader definition, that of a qu
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 are introduced to numbers from 1,000 to 1,000,000 using a varie
It was a quiet day for retired Intergalactic Space Commander and Defender of the Cosmos, Norma Gnarly aka Cosmic Granny. She was having a pleasant time at home preparing for a fun weekend with her grandchildren Ashton and Ashley, aka the Astrokids. The day took a drastic turn when Cosmic Granny arrived to pick up the twins from school and discovers they are missing. Cosmic Granny soon learns, her former BFF turned archenemy Meteor Molly has an evil plan to ruin her life and take everything from her including th
The Student Mathematician’s Journal presents simulated or real-life problems that encourage students to think, write, and read like mathematicians. They are asked to reflect on what they have learned and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students learn beginning measurement concepts and processes associated with the attributes of length, area, capacity, and volume. Students will communicate with Freeda and Fonzie, the leader of the Frogonauts on Earth, to help them make decisions throughout the unit. Students will continue to think like mathem
