Mathematical Modeling
enVision A|G|A makes mathematics relevant for students by emphasizing mathematical modeling
in reality-based mathematics instruction.

•  Mathematical Modeling Mathematical Modeling in 3 Acts, Act 1

in 3 Acts lessons are available for
every topic and engage students in the
complete modeling cycle.

•  Model & Discuss lesson-opening

explorations give students an opportunity
to develop proficiency with aspects
of the modeling process.

Act 1: The Hook

Students watch a video that prompts them to
ask questions—in this case, “Will the shot go in?”
• Students actively generate the word
problem they are going to solve.
• Provides an entry point for every
student, no matter their level of
mathematical proficiency.
• Creates an inclusive classroom
for all students.

6
Mathematical Modeling in 3 Acts, Act 2 Act 2: Model with Math
In the second act, students determine the information
they need to solve the problem and how to get that
data. Here, students figure out how they can determine
if the shot will go in the basket. Students:
• Apply mathematical concepts learned earlier in
the chapter and select the appropriate tools to
solve the problem they defined in the first act.
• Engage in reality-based mathematical modeling
that is more challenging and closely mirrors
the work of STEM professionals.

Mathematical Modeling in 3 Acts, Act 3

Act 3: The Solution

In the final act, the video reveals the answer
to the problem.
• Students root for their conjectures and
analyze their results, as they actively engage
with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
• A Sequel problem is provided to extend
the learning.

enVision STEM
Project

STEM Projects provide opportunities

for students to explore situations
that address real social, economic,
and environmental issues that foster
mathematical connections across topics.

Active Learning
enVision A|G|A engages students through a focus on different learning styles. The digital
interactive experience powered by Desmos fosters conceptual understanding with a deep
emphasis on visual learning and multiple representations. The student companion provides
a worktext option that increases students’ ownership of their instruction.

 LEARNING FOR WHAT’S NEXT Mathematics becomes a lifelong tool when
curriculum balances conceptual understanding,
procedural fluency, and application.

Explore
Lesson-opening explorations foster the development of conceptual understanding through a problem-
solving experience. There are three types: Explore & Reason, Model & Discuss, and Critique & Explain.

Algebra 2 Explore & Reason

lesson exploration

Explore & Reason

Students explore a mathematical concept
and use reasoning to draw conclusions.

Model & Discuss

Students develop proficiency with the full
modeling cycle by focusing deeply on a
smaller part of the modeling cycle.
