Tease math out of the textbook and into real-life with 50 hands-on Math Projects. Student-directed, one-page assignments provide assignments and guidelines and all the data needed to figure out the answer. Arranged by NCTM guidelines, the beginning of the book features boxes with the guidelines, what students must know to work the exercise and materials needed; for homeschooling parents, it primarily acts as a detailed table of contents for parents to pick and choose exercises from and see in advance what materials are needed. Activities are noted as at 'e, a, or c' level for easy, average or challenging. Reading diagrams, geometry, fractions, probability, ratios, and other middle-school topics are emphasized. Homeschoolers should note that some activities are for small groups or partners. 50 reproducible pages, softcover. No answer key. Grades 5-8+.
