Trailblazers' Mathematics

Course Abstract
Incorporates experiences in investigation and experimentation and involves solving problems that integrates the content areas.
Unit One - Population & Sample

· Helps establish a positive classroom atmosphere, introduces critical mathematics and science concepts and gathers baseline assessment data on students.

Unit Four - Division and Data

This unit extends and applies students’ knowledge of division, measuring areas, averages (means and medians), and accuracy in measurement and estimation. As part of the lab, Spreading Out, students decide when it is more appropriate to use a bar graph than a point graph.

Unit Five - Investigating Fractions

This unit connects the study of fractions with the use of data to solve problems. Students use models for finding the common denominator and for comparing, adding, and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. In the lab, A Day at the Race, students use their knowledge to fractions to compare speeds by comparing ratios.

Unit Six - Geometry

Students draw triangles and other plane figures to discover properties of shapes and the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the sum of the angles. They describe and classify shapes. They explore tessellations by using quilt designs.

Unit Seven - Decimals and Probability

Students learn that a quantity can be expressed as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent. They use centiwheels (circles divided into hundredths) and divided squares to make the connection between fractions and decimal symbols. They use their knowledge of decimals to explore probability in the lab, Flipping Coins.
