In case you are trying the MARS MAP Classroom Challenges for the first time, it is recommended that you read the Brief Guide for teachers and administrators before you get started.
Before the lesson, students work individually on a task designed to reveal their current level of understanding. You review their scripts and write questions to help your students improve their work.
In the lesson, students are asked to work collaboratively on some simple games. They make predictions of the outcomes and then conduct the experiments and gather data.
In a follow-up lesson, students use their learning and your questions to review their initial answers and to complete a follow-up task.
