Activities: |
In
a typical chapter, students read the objectives, explore topics
and situations that support the importance of mathematics, and engage
in a chapter project. In each lesson, students (1) read what they
will learn and why it is important; (2) explore commentary on demonstrations
of the concepts or skills; (3) complete sample problems; and (4)
express their understanding of concepts/skills by reading, writing,
modeling, discussing, and doing practice problems. Each chapter
ends with a highlights section and a study guide and assessment
section, which include skills and concepts, applications and problem
solving, alternative assessments, and, in some chapters, long-term
investigation problems. |
