Just as a young pup can transform into a beautiful fox, changes big and small happen around us all the time. How does the grass change? How can a stone wall change? What changes happen to water in a lake?

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 explore two-dimensional shapes and in doing so, discover properties of these shapes rather than memorize definitions given to them.
In this unit, students begin their exploration of probability as a measurement of the likelihood of events. The unit was designed to engage students as mathematicians conducting and analyzing experiments that involve the likelihood of events happening.They will see how mathematics is used in real-life situations as they create a “Carnival of Chance” using games constructed with the laws of probability.
