The Modeling with Data Casebook was developed as the key resource for participants’ Developing Mathematical Ideas seminar experience. The twenty-eight cases, written by teachers describing real situations and actual student thinking in their classrooms, provide the basis of each session’s investigation of specific mathematical concepts and teaching strategies. Reading and discussing the cases under the guidance of the facilitator actively engages participants in their own learning enterprise as they— • learn to recognize the key mathematical ideas with which students are grappling; • consider the types of classroom settings and teaching strategies that support the development of student understanding; • become aware of how core mathematical ideas develop across the grades; • work on mathematical concepts and gain better understanding of mathematical content; • deepen their own understanding of the Common Core standards for mathematical practice and how to engage their students in them; and • discover how to continue learning about children and mathematics. The casebook is composed of eight chapters: the first seven consist of classroom cases spanning the elementary grades; chapter 8 is an essay providing an overview of the research related to the situations described in the first seven chapters. The chapters are as follows: Chapter 1 Getting started with data Chapter 2 Designing a data investigation: What do you want to find out? Chapter 3 Categorical data: Representing and describing the results Chapter 4 Numerical data: What do the numbers mean? Chapter 5 Comparing data sets Chapter 6 Average: Developing ideas about “middle” Chapter 7 Average: Understanding the mean Chapter 8 Highlights of related research

The publication of What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School in 1984 introduced the world to the Mark H. McCormack street smart, nuggets of wisdom offering accessible insights into how to get ahead in the real world of business. McCormack died in 2003, but his legacy and business philosophy live on. Beyond Harvard celebrates his genius with a collection of new street smarts based on interviews with the people who knew, worked with and were influenced by him - colleagues, clients and competitors alike. From advice on managing people and building relationships, through to the best negotiating tips and how to grow a business, a stellar line-up of contributors from the business, media and sporting worlds show us how a brush with McCormack could change forever the way you do business - and live your life. Learn from the outside-the-box thinking that encouraged a nervous Wimbledon committee to sign up to IMG-style merchandising; why it pays to hold your nerve when you reach a negotiating impasse; how the rituals and routines of the sporting world can work in business too, and even how re-using incoming paperclips or keeping 3x5 notecards to hand can contribute to success. Beyond Harvard is both an affectionate testament to the man who invented the sports marketing industry and a worthy successor to the original Harvard book, offering a new generation of street smarts to anyone looking to improve their business understanding and practice.
