Abstract | Natural disasters often receive massive media attention. The headlines can engage students to think mathematically and scientifically about the world around them. 'Principles and Standards for School Mathematics' explicitly encourages instruction where students "recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics" (NCTM 2000, p. 64). This article describes a five-day sequence of activities for fifth-grade students using stunning images and data about a particularly devastating storm. The hurricane context thematically integrates (Davison, Miller, and Metheny 1995) the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) domains of measurement, data, geometry, and number and operations (NGA Center and CCSSO 2010) with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) disciplinary core ideas of weather and climate, Earth's systems, and natural hazards (NGSS Lead States 2013). The goal of the activities is for students to become more quantitatively literate (Dossey 1997) by applying mathematics and science concepts to understand data in the news. (ERIC). |
