Proportionality: A Unifying Theme for the Middle Grades.
Lanius, Cynthia S.; Williams, Susan E.
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, v8 n8 p392-96 Apr 2003
Explains how middle school mathematics topics are often taught as separate, discrete topics without a unifying thread. Discusses the importance of proportionality as a concept with the potential to untie, relate, and clarify many important, complex middle grades ideas into a cohesive theme. (YDS)
