Familiarize your self with the student pages before doing the activities. It is recommended that you try them at home before doing them with students. 1.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships discriminating relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information and observing patterns. 1.2 Formulate and justify mathematical conjectures based upon a general description of the question or problem posed. 1.3 Determine when and how to break a problem into simpler parts.
Students use strategies, skills, and concepts in finding solutions.
2.1 Use estimation to verify the reasonableness of calculated results 2.5 Express the solution clearly and logically using appropriate mathematical notation and terms and clear language, and support solutions with evidence, in both verbal and symbolic work. 2.6 Indicate the relative advantages of exact and approximate solutions to problems and give answers to a specified degree of accuracy. 2.7 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results from the context of the problem. Students move beyond a particular problem by generalizing to other situations. 3.1 Evaluate the reasonableness of the solution in the context of the original situation.
