NOVEL IDEA: HOW BEHIND THE DATA
ENGAGE: Students find a common sports team or acitivity for which there is an abundance of statistics. Students must find a statistic they find interesting to them. Based off of the context clues, students have to explain what mathematical processes went into developing that statistic.
EXPLORE: Students compare statistic types and explanations. Classroom discussion reveals different statistics, varying mathematical processes etc.
EXPLAIN: Students must research how varying statistics are achieved such as averages, percents, per hit vs per run etc.
ELABORATE: Students must perform an activity. Collect data from that activity. Develop a statistic.
EVALUATE: In a presentation, students will need to present their activity, their findings and explain what mathematical processes allowed them to achieve the statistic they are presenting.

Omotayo & Adeleke (2017) Study : The 5E Intructional Model: A Constructivist Approach for Enhancing Student's Learning Outcomes in Mathematics. This resource provides information on the how the 5E model could be applicable to the discipline of math. It also includes a chart consisting of each phase of the 5E model with descriptions of the teacher's role and activity examples for a sample lesson.
EdTopia: This article describes how to use the 5Es in remote instruction. This could be useful for teachers who are in districts that may still be accomodating at home learners. In person teachers could also utilize this resource to develop a better understanding for how technology can be incorporated into the 5E model in terms of math instruction (Proffitt, 2020).
Impact of 5E Learning Model Study : This journal article explored the impact of 5E learning model on 5th grade students. Students who recieved the 5E model of instruction learned better, achieved higher and also had a higher retention rate. Reading this article may help to inspire the why behind the implementation of the 5E model in math (Alshehri, 2016).
Citizen Math: This resource provides supplemental math lessons for grades 6 - 12. The lessons are all real-world base. This could be a great researce to get inspiration for the engagement piece of the 5E model and / or making the lesson of the 5E model more engaging by making it real-world applicable (Citizen Math, n.d.).
Real World Math: This website connects math lessons with Google Earth. This is great engaging way that teachers could allow students to explore math content as it applies to planet Earth. Great for utilization in the engage and / or explore phases.
