Book excerpt: 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 6-8. Activities invite students to connect ideas of number, algebra, geometry, measurement and data analysis. Students discover the usefulness of mathematical modelling by solving problems in a variety of applied settings, such as crime-scene forensics and estimations of wildlife populations. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students and additional readings for teachers.
