Mathscape/Seeing and Thinking Mathematically: From the Ground Up
By EDC Project Staff
Mathscape/Seeing and Thinking Mathematically is a complete middle-school mathematics curriculum. In this series of 21 units, students explore big ideas, essential processes, and basic skills. The series fully addresses National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards and recommendations for teaching middle-school mathematics. In this unit, students use scale, measurement, nets, and geometric constructions to build a model house. They investigate the areas of triangles, trapezoids, and polygons, and use area as the basis for estimating the cost of materials for their houses.
