REVIEW:
Math teachers will appreciate the carefully planned math lessons
and activities in the investigations section. More than a dozen
thought provoking investigations are available for both elementary
and secondary students that cover such topics as statistics, finances,
area, geometric models and more. If you really want to challenge
your students to do some creative thinking, click on the Puzzles
link to find more than sixty puzzles that can be printed and used
in the classroom. Each puzzle includes the area of mathematics and
the objectives that it addresses. There is an extensive list of
online and print resources available to help improve mathematics
instruction. Also worth a look is the “Classroom Examples”
(found in the top menu) that features completed inquiry-based projects
in grades K-12. This is a great place to spark your thinking in
creating your own projects in the humanities or science. |
