Relentless Learning

This detailed multi-lesson and minimal prep plan looks at how we can use an open-ended question to explore social justice through math. Math modelling is an interative process that provides insight into - or a solution for - a real life problem using mathematics. Since students are working with a truly open-ended question, there is a lot of prep in which the teacher needs to develop elicitation question... BUT IN THIS INFO-PACKED LESSON PLAN, ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR YOU! Table of contents

This detailed multi-day lesson and minimal prep plan looks at how we can use math to solve a real, open-ended question: determining class size. With extensions into social justice realms, Math Modelling provides insight into - or a solution for - a real life problem using mathematics. In this (minimum) week-long endeavour, students will have a better idea of how math can have an effect on their daily lives. By comparing their models to their actual class sizes, they can begin to ask critical que

This freebie exemplifies how we can explore social justice through math and how students of different math abilities can be supported through authentic multi lesson, open-ended math projects. The answer is - Math Modelling! (If a student has ever asked you when they're going to use math in "real life", then you are definitely in the right spot.) In this info-packed freebie, you will learn: what math modelling is (and is not)how it supports student learning relative to math, SEL skills and oth
