New Math Inquiry: Ages and Timelines
The unit begins with the story of Carlos, an 8 year old boy who is fascinated by his great-grandfather's thick, beautiful silver hair. Carlos wonders how old his great-grandfather is and how many years it will take before he might have hair like that, too. As Carlos begins to investigate these questions, his whole family becomes involved in exploring age differences and figuring out how old they each were when Carlos was born. When Carlos shares his investigation with his teacher, the whole school gets involved in the project!
This story context set the stage for a series of investigations in this unit. Timelines are introduced as context for using the open number-line to represent strategies for SUBTRACTION.
