Analyze bivariate data and understand the concepts of association and co-variation between two quantitative variables. Explore scatter plots, the least squares line, and modeling linear relationships.
Our first exposure to geometry is that of Euclid, in which all triangles have 180 degrees. As it turns out, triangles can have more or less than 180 degrees. This unit explores these curved spaces that are at once otherwordly and firmly of this world
Watch this program in the 10th session for K–2 and 3–5 teachers. Explore how the concepts developed in this course can be applied through case studies of K–5 teachers who have adapted their new knowledge to their classrooms.

Examine the relationships between area and perimeter when one measure is fixed. Determine which shapes maximize area while minimizing perimeter, and vice versa. Explore the proportional relationship between surface area and volume. Construct open-box containers, and use graphs to approximate the dimensions of the resulting rectangular prism that holds the maximum volume.
Continue exploring rational numbers, working with an area model for multiplication and division with fractions, and examining operations with decimals. Explore percents and the relationships among representations using fractions, decimals, and percents. Examine benchmarks for understanding percents, especially percents less than 10 and greater than 100. Consider ways to use an elastic model, an area model, and other models to discuss percents. Explore some ratios that occur in nature.
In his tribute to Revolutionary War sites in New York City, Dave also pay tribute to contemporary New York, the eastern terminus of the Lincoln Highway in New York City, and the New York tradition of Lombardi's pizza. Beginning at the Shrine to Liberty on Long Island, Dave recalls how their overnight retreat and the dense fog that descended saved Washington's troops. Dave explains that prisoners of war were kept in horrible conditions on ships in the Hudson River and that 20,000 of the 30,000 Hessian troops hired to supplement the British army died from unsanitary conditions, rather than battle wounds. The defeat at Fort Washington is followed by the Battle of Harlem Heights that renews the faith of Americans that they can win the war against the British.
Learn how to use the concept of similarity to measure distance indirectly, using methods involving similar triangles, shadows, and transits. Apply basic right-angle trigonometry to learn about the relationships among steepness, angle of elevation, and height-to-distance ratio. Use trigonometric ratios to solve problems involving right triangles.
