Description
Summary:“Math by the Month” activities are designed to engage students to think as mathematicians do. Students may work on the activities individually or in small groups, or the whole class may use them as problems of the week. No solutions are suggested, so students look to themselves for mathematical justification and develop confidence to validate their work. August means getting ready for a new school year, catching up with old friends, and making new acquaintances. The following activities are designed to help you and your students get to know one another through mathematical investigations involving number sense and operations, collecting and representing data, geometry, measurement, logic, communication, and representation.
