Students pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute values...

Students are introduced to modular mathematics. They start by making clocks for different bases. They use their clocks to count, using the base, and then finding the mod or remainder. They explore both positive and negative numbers with...

Students discover the Sieve of Erathosthenes. They explore a method to find all the prime numbers in a group of numbers. Using models, students practice divisibility rules while examining the difference between prime and composite numbers.

Pupils focus on finding solutions to situations found in everyday life. Students participate in activities to solve a system of equations, identify the system as consistent and independent, consistent and dependent or inconsistent. ...

Students explore lunar eclipses and discover how to predict an eclipse the same way that ancient people did. They examine dates of recorded eclipses and find a pattern. Students apply an algorithm to the pattern.
