What science does Math Trailblazers include?
A. Math Trailblazers takes the heart of science–the Scientific Method–and adapts it for use as a tool for solving a wide variety of problems. Students learn, through repeated use of the TIMS Laboratory Method, how scientists approach and solve problems and how to design and carry out controlled scientific experiments. Students systematically examine relationships among variables in a scientific experiment, a concept fundamental to the study of math and science. Math Trailblazers focuses on science content that is essential to all areas of science: the variables of length, area, volume, mass, and time. Measurement is presented in meaningful, experimental situations. Strong connections are made between the real world and abstract ideas. Math Trailblazers is aligned in many ways with the National Science Education Standards from the National Research Council (NRC).
