Students acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully. Mathematics as Reasoning Students apply deductive and inductive reasoning. Mathematical Connections Students apply mathematical thinking and modeling to solve problems that arise in other disciplines, such as science and aeronautics. Computation and Estimation Students compute with whole numbers. Students develop analyze and explain procedures for computation.
Students use computation to solve problems.
Geometry Students solve problems using geometric models. Students develop an appreciation of geometry as a means of describing the physical world. Students estimate, make and use measurements to describe and compare phenomena. Students extend their understanding of the concepts of angle measure. Class Organization Suggestions Collaborative groups help with classroom and student management and assist student learning.
