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. |
