Students become mathematical adventurers in these challenging and engaging activities designed to deepen and extend their understanding of concepts from the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. The investigations in this book stretch students' mathematical imaginations to their limits as they explore mystifying patterns of colored blocks, analyze paths of pool balls, solve mathematical word puzzles, and unravel a baffling mathematical code. Each activity comes with detailed support for classroom implementation including learning goals, discussion guides, detailed solutions, and suggestions for extending the investigation. There is also a free supplemental e-book offering strategies for motivation, assessment, parent communication, and suggestions for using the materials in different learning environments.

Grades 5-8
A Note to Students vii
Introduction 1(6)
Connections to the Common Core State Standards 7(4)
Exploration 1 Building Blocks
As students explore and extend complex patterns in a design of colored blocks, they discover the deeper significance of prime numbers
11(12)
Exploration 2 1000 Lockers
Students solve a classic problem based on factors and multiples by simulating the situation and looking for patterns
23(8)
Exploration 3 Factoring Large Numbers
Students develop strategies for factoring large numbers. They apply their knowledge to explore a famous theorem by Euclid
31(14)
Exploration 4 Factor Scramble
By assigning numbers to letters and words and then forming products, students learn how the factors of natural numbers are built from their prime factors
45(12)
Exploration 5 How Many Factors?
Students use pictures of prime factorizations to find all of the factors of a number and then develop an algebraic formula to count them
57(16)
Exploration 6 Differences and Greatest Common Factors
Students explore patterns connecting the difference of two numbers with their possible GCFs
73(14)
Exploration 7 A Measurement Dilemma
Students explore patterns involving greatest common factors when they solve a problem about measuring water using containers of various sizes
87(16)
Exploration 8 Paper Pool
Students connect number theory to ratio concepts as they use graph paper to follow the path of an imaginary pool ball
103(18)
Exploration 9 The GCF-LCM Connection
By creating factors and multiples from prime "building blocks," students discover a hidden connection between GCFs and LCMs
121(18)
Exploration 10 Mathematical Mystery Code
Students explore properties of exponents as they try to crack a baffling number code
