This simulation is uniquely appropriate for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) initiatives. And it s great fun! Students will use algebraic thinking, data analysis and the engineering design process to solve problems in real-world settings. In Amazon Mission, students help a native village surmount malaria, and confront the environmental hazards of gold-mining. Building Math was developed through a partnership with the Boston Museum of Science and Tufts University, and successfully piloted in Boston-area schools. Includes a poster illustrating the engineering design process and a DVD with classroom implementation samples. Addresses Common Core State standards and ITEA standards for technological literacy. 198 pages.
