Fundamentals in the Context of Social Issues
Paperback Engels 1996 9781563084355Samenvatting
What has math got to do with my life? If you've ever heard that protest from your students, this book can provide the answer. Presenting mathematics in the context of social issues makes it relevant and helps students learn how to apply math skills appropriately. Four sections-race and gender, poverty and wealth, the environment, and teen issues-have lessons based on themes such as estimating, probability, negative numbers, and multiplying decimals. Discussion questions, library research activities and guides, and reproducible homework assignments reinforce learning. With its concrete approach, this book allows students to see mathematics as a powerful tool for understanding the world. Working through the activities will motivate them and help them grow as mathematicians and as citizens.
