MATH ADVANTAGE Grade(s): 6 Publisher: HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT Copyright: 1999

This book helps students develop their probabilistic thinking by introducing them to the notion of sample space and the use of tree diagrams and geometric regions to represent sample spaces. Many activities present probability in the context of the fairness of games, a topic of great interest to middle-grades students. Notions of population samples, prediction over the long term, and the law of large numbers are reinforced through games and engaging problems. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

Real-world investigations can move students in the middle grades from their earlier, informal understanding of measurement to the abstract, sophisticated understanding they will need in high school. This book provides hands-on activities that build important strategies and concepts. Students learn about accuracy and estimation, and they develop formulas for the perimeter, area, and volume of two- and three-dimensional figures. In exploring proportionality, scaling, and similarity, they build a scale model of a room and make a ruler to help gauge the age of a tree. As they progress from fundamental measures to derived measures, they investigate such rates as speed and density. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.
