Students learn mathematics by solving problems. But to learn best, they need immersive problems that activate background knowledge while introducing new concepts--that challenge them to make connections between mathematical principles, mirror their real-world experiences, and show them the big ideas underpinning procedural understandings. These kinds of problems are riches for any classroom, and in Panning for Gold you'll discover a trove of extended investigations that support deep learning in math.

Its extended, two- to three-day investigations are a high-quality supplement for any curriculum. Daniel Brahier describes each lesson thoroughly, including: the rationale for teaching it where in the curriculum it may fit connections to specific NCTM Standards step-by-step discussions of activities and questions for the classroom optional extensions.
