Navigating through Mathematical Connections in Grades 9-12

Making connections becomes increasingly important as students proceed through middle school and high school.

This book shows ways of embedding connective processes in instruction in grades 9-12.

Problems invite mathematical modelling, unify diverse content, call for different representations and encourage students to look back at their work to find connections.

Activities feature such tasks as determining a dosage schedule for a prescription drug, making ""transit graphs"" to maximise travel through a canal and deciding when to accept a ""double dare"" in a simple game.

The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.
