About this title

Synopsis

This middle school mathematics and social studies curriculum integrates goals and strategies consistent with the NCTM Standards to help students create mathematical questions; conduct research, record, interpret, and discuss results; and learn about the uses and misuses of math in real world decision-making. It includes lesson plans and activities appropriate for heterogeneously grouped classes; suggestions for assessment; an appendix on cooperative-learning techniques; and a chart correlating the curriculum activities to NCTM Standards. Student handouts are also available for purchase through Educators for Social Responsibility.
