Change is all around us. In this module, students explore changes in the environment. Starting with their immediate surroundings, they ask three questions: "What was it like before?", "What changes have happened?", and "What changes will occur in the future?" They then look more closely at the processes of weathering and erosion and at rocks and fossils.
Each Teacher Guide includes:
Level 5–6 is divided into three activity sections: algebra, proportional reasoning, and integer activities. 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.
Adventures in Algebra focuses on describing patterns and relationships with symbols and evaluating expressions and e
In this unit, students explore the world of the research scientist and learn how gathering, representing, and analyzing data are the essence of good research. Lessons cover cafeteria surveys, Olympic competition data, the effects of exercise on heart rates, and local weather research.
The Teacher Guide is designed to provide background information on the mathematics being taught in this unit, the le
