Navigating Through Algebra in Grades 9-12 (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics Navigations Series) Book

Navigating Through Math in Grades 9-12 Set, Includes all 7 books and CD-ROMs from NCTM's Navigating Through Grades 9-12 series. Navigating Through Algebra in Grades 9-12, Addresses algebra as a language of process, expands the idea of variables, and develops the concept of function. Extends students' understanding of algebraic equivalence and of change. Includes activities, blackline masters, and a CD-ROM. 96 pages. Navigating through Number and Operations in Grades 9-12, Explore numbers and operations embedded in physical objects and show how simple problems can lead to sophisticated considerations. Students examine the usefulness of irrational numbers in designing musical scales and discover powerful ideas from graph theory in a concrete context of dikes, towers, and enclosed regions. Includes CD-ROM. 174 pages. Navigating through Mathematical Connections in Grades 9-12, Invite students to use mathematical modeling and different representations as you encourage them to look back at their work to find connections. Activities include determining a dosage schedule for a prescription drug and deciding when to accept a "double dare" in a simple game. Includes CD-ROM. 178 pages. Navigating Through Measurement in Grades 9-12, Explore historical applications of measurement to teach the importance of this skill in sophisticated mathematics at the high school level. Students investigate how to measure the speed of ships at sea or how to estimate the distance from Earth to the Sun. Additional activities explore formulas for measuring complex shapes and trace how algebraic formulas for measurement are created. Includes CD-ROM. 174 pages. Navigating Through Geometry in Grades 9-12, These challenging activities concentrate on the use of transformations, coordinates, matrices, congruence, and similarity. Also included are activities that use calculators or computer software to produce geometric images. Includes student activities, a CD-ROM with additional information, and blacklRead More
