As the name suggests, Putting It Together encourages students to bring all of the mathematical tools and techniques they have been developing throughout the unit, and their developing identity as a learning community, to bear on a group of summary activities.
In these activities, students will use In-Out tables to solve several problems. One activity will introduce two famous, mathematically important patterns that will surface again later in IMP. Others will combine algebraic thinking, and in particular the concept of function, with ideas from geometry. Finally, students will review and summarize their work over the entire unit in a portfolio.
