Math: The New Way

Investigations
As I'm sure you're aware, the Harrisburg School District adopted a new math program this year entitled Investigations. This curriculum is different than the traditional math approach that you and I both had growing up. This inquiry-driven math is much more hands on and places an emphasis on problem solving rather than memorization of facts and algorithms. 

The Sioux Falls School District also adopted this math program. Click HERE for a recent Eye on Keloland story entitled Math: The New Way. 

3K Math - Unit 2: Data Analysis 


After collecting information from the class, students work in groups to organize their data into categories.
This group asked the class: "Where do you like to relax?"
They then sifted through the data and organized it into groups.
