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
In this unit on measurement, students are actively engaged in the measurement process and connect it to their own personal worlds. Students go ‘In Search of the Yeti” as they learn about perimeter, area, and volume.
