Mathematics teachers looking for creative classroom strategies to engage students should find the the ideas presented in this volume to be of use. The authors present pathways to the reform standards that have been suggested by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Case studies and sample activities that encourage the reader to think creatively about integrated curricula and classroom methods are presented throughout, and a discussion of resources includes a listing of newly available curricula.
"In Macmillan's four-volume Mathematics encyclopedia, users will learn about the function of mathematics in everyday life as well as its role as a tool for measurement, data analysis, and technological development. Interdisciplinary in scope, the encyclopedia provides students with a clear and comprehensive introduction to this vast topic through nearly 300 entries that were commissioned especially for the set. The goal of the encyclopedia is to make mathematics and its basic disciplines—such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry—more accessible and interesting to students and general users.
Maths - Grade 7 In this unit, of Connected Mathematics, students are developing skills in areas that are traditionally known as algebra. This unit introduces them to situations that can be modeled with linear functions and graphed with straight lines.
Maths - Grade 6 It is the first unit in the Connected Mathematics geometry strand. Students will recognize, analyze, measure, and reason about the shapes and visual patterns that are important features of our world. It builds on students’ previous exposure to simple shapes by analyzing the properties that make certain shapes special and useful.
