Star Navigation: Explorations into Angles and Measurement

By: Barbara L. Adams, Melissa Kagle, Frederick George

Designed for 6th graders, this teacher's module emphasizes both conceptual and applied understanding of angles and measurements by engaging students in activities that connect to everyday life. Each activity in this book contains a clear list of goals, materials list, detailed instructions, vocabulary list, illustrations, and black line masters. Teacher notes, math notes, and cultural notes appear throughout.

Star Navigation: Explorations into Angles and Measurement is part of the Math in a Cultural Context series, an integrated supplemental math curriculum that connects aspects of Yup'ik culture to mathematics and engages students in a series of hands-on activities.
