Navigating Through Algebra in Grades 6 8 (Principles$8.48This book shows how middle school students can use mathematical models and represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures to explore the concept of function. The activities and problems require students to use representations related to work with functions, and they highlight some of the interactions that may occur among these representations. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.
Navigating Through Number and Operations in Grades 6 8$71.19Middle school students consolidate their understanding of integers and rational numbers, increasing their facility with fractions, decimals, and percents and encountering proportionality. This book shows how students can explore these important ideas in such diverse activities as exchanging currency and using area models to develop algorithms for multiplying and dividing fractions. Underlying each activity is the belief that students learn best when they build computational fluency on a firm conceptual foundation.
