Navigating Through Mathematical Connections: Grades 9-12 (Principles And Standards for School Mathematics Navigations Series)

Making connections becomes increasingly important as students proceed through middle school and high school. This book shows ways of embedding connective processes in instruction in grades 9-12. Problems invite mathematical modeling, unify diverse content, call for different representations, and encourage students to look back at their work to find connections. Activities feature such tasks as determining a dosage schedule for a prescription drug, making transit graphs to maximize travel through a canal, and deciding when to accept a double dare in a simple game. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.
