Students begin with the overall problem of how to build a fish rack, and from there they explore associated problems such as determining the area for a variety of fish-rack shapes and determining the type of three-dimensional shape that is most structurally stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes one teacher resource, three posters, and one CD-ROM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Series Math in a Cultural Context\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis series is a supplemental math curriculum based on the traditional wisdom and practices of the Yup'ik people of southwest Alaska. The result of more than a decade of collaboration between math educators and Yup'ik elders, these modules connect cultural knowledge to school mathematics. Students are challenged to communicate and think mathematically as they solve inquiry-oriented problems, which require creative, practical and analytical thinking. Classroom-based research strongly suggests that students engaged in this curriculum can develop deeper mathematical understandings than students who engage only with a procedure-oriented, paper-and-pencil curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brush Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49787033354480,"sku":"9781550592580","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550592580","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
