Abstract	This volume is a teacher's edition in a series of books that contain open-ended exploration activities and experiments. These activities allow and encourage students to set their own goals, use their own creativity and ideas, investigate the wonders of nature, learn about the workings of real businesses, and draw conclusions from their investigations of these real-life situations. Students participate in many explorations by first making things such as a conic section through paper folding or a model of the path of a projectile and then using their creations to complete the exploration or investigation. The 40 activities are grouped under the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM) Curriculum Standards of: communications, spatial sense, measurement, number sense, connections, problem solving, and reasoning. Some activities include: The Normal Curve: Developing Normal Curves through Population Sampling; Models for Locus Theorems: Animating Locus Theorems; von Koch Snowflake: Understanding Sequences and Series, Football Arithmetic with Integers: Adding and Subtracting Positive and Negative Integers; The Mathematics of Medicine: Using Exponential Functions; VCR Counters: Modeling Reality with Quadratic Function; Am I Speeding? Discovering Linear Functions and Slope. Each activity contains a teacher's guide that lists: goal, student objectives, guide to the investigations, vocabulary, suggested path for remediation, and additional resources. Also included are: an introduction, purpose, materials needed, procedures, observations, conclusions, and suggestions for further study. (MKR)
