This section describes the steps involved in presenting the investigation and working through the investigation with the student. Questions are provided to elicit student thinking so that the tutor can determine whether or not the student understands the mathematics and is ready to move on to the next part of the investigation. Teaching Tip Sprinkled throughout the investigations, teaching tips provide tutors with teaching strategies and suggestions about what to look for in student responses. These are follow-up activities that further extend the mathematics studied in the investigation. Extensions may be used during a tutoring session or assigned as a homework activity.
Most investigations make use of some reproducible blackline maters.
Some student pages contain manipulatives such as fraction strips, or shape templates that need to be cut out prior to the investigation. Other student pages contain blank tables to be filled in by the student. If you have previously registered, simply enter your email addressin the registration form.
