English, Lyn D.; Mousoulides, Nicholas G. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Engineering-based modeling activities provide a rich source of meaningful situations that capitalize on and extend students' routine learning. By integrating such activities within existing curricula, students better appreciate how their school learning in mathematics and science applies to problems in the outside world. Furthermore, modeling…

Gavin, M. Katherine; Sheffield, Linda Jensen – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
For most students, algebra seems like a totally different subject than the number topics they studied in elementary school. In reality, the procedures followed in arithmetic are actually based on the properties and laws of algebra. Algebra should be a logical next step for students in extending the proficiencies they developed with number topics…
