Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to ask and answer mathematical questions about their school community.
Lesson Narrative
Students take a walk around the school and develop mathematical questions about their school community. The walk can focus on one particular area of the school or the surrounding community. Then students choose a question to answer. They make a plan of how to answer the question with their partner and determine which tools they will need to answer the question. These activities can happen over the course of two days to allow students time to answer multiple questions.
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 4, Section B in the curriculum materials.
