Does regular aerobic exercise enable people to hold their breath longer? This unit is about the relationships between sets of numbers, the use of scatter diagrams to decide if two things are related and the distinction between correlation and cause and effect. Having students generate data about themselves anchors statistical techniques in a context meaningful to students. The five Investigations units from EQUALS give middle school teachers and students opportunities to explore mathematics skills and concepts in familiar contexts that make sense. These 4-8 week integrated units encourage sustained work that involves students in high-level thinking, creative problem solving, planning their own approaches, and communicating their own ideas. They work together to explore problem-based curriculum with more depth than traditional exercises. Student worksheets are in English and Spanish.
