Describes a unit in which students design a space station. Provided are a timetable for the unit, requirements for space-station manufacturing, and an outline of the unit. Lists nine references. (YP)

In this unit of the Seeing and Thinking Mathematically series, students use geometry to analyze buildings from around the world, design and build their own house models, create plans for their designs, and build from each other's plans. Students start out the unit building with cubes and later move to other geometric shapes. As they learn to…

A brief outline of instruction for one unit of informal geometry is covered. The problem solving unit described involves work with picture frames and includes many mathematical concepts. (MP)

The purpose of this activity book is to provide fun while learning and reinforcing mathematics in the following categories: (1) mathematical concepts and applications; (2) mathematical computations; (3) geometry; and (4) mathematics for daily living. A gameboard and playing cards are provided in this book. A die, pawns, and a container for the…

In this unit, part of the Seeing and Thinking Mathematically in the Middle Grades series, students use mathematics to design and construct a model home from the ground up. Through the process of designing floor plans, constructing walls and roofs, and making cost estimates, students explore key concepts in geometry and measurement and engage in…

The purpose of this revised syllabus/guide is to help teachers and administrators plan and implement Course II in the the State Three-Year Sequence for High School Mathematics for Regents credit. Course II builds upon the state mathematics curriculum outlined in the department's mathematics K-6, Grade 7, Grade 8, and Course I publications.…
