Our Mathematical Adventure Inspired by the Number Devil: Imagine Jason, a struggling math student in the midst of summer school, getting swooped away to learn about the coordinate plane from a Pablo Picasso painting. Or Mohammed, a young boy who finds a golden canteen which, when rubbed, brings forth the Number Genie who takes him on a mathematical adventure around the world.

In this lesson, students delve into the booming field. We offer examples of how The Times uses analytics to enhance its sports coverage, and we suggest ways that students can collect their own data to analyze and present information.

This article is old (1971) but from a foundational theorist in PBL. He discusses using projects to teach students to be mathematicians rather than just teaching or failing to teach them math. Link on Boise site: http://www.tandfonline.com.libproxy.boisestate.edu/doi/pdf/10.1080/0020739700030306

As a teacher in a Project Based Learning (PBL) school, I cherished the projects I created. I worked diligently to ensure that all PBL units I developed were rigorous and engaging. They were oftenti...

I found this PBL project on BIE.org and it is titled "Special Diets". This mathematical group project has the students research specific nutritional diets with patients of certain illnesses. The students will use systems of equations and inequalities to create a presentation for a doctor suggesting nutrition requirements of patients with illnesses. This is a great idea for PBL in a math class!

A Gardener's Dilemma Project Idea: Students act as community members and set aside plots of land for local citizens to establish small gardens.Students will design a plan for a family garden plot. I will adapt this PBL to include technology, ELA, Science and of course, Mathematics for elementary students. I like that it is a real-world skill, affecting everyone and involves community planning.

Great example of PBL to teach exponential functions.

This project attempted to merge mathematical principles with European geography in order to appeal to a wide variety of students. The project was designed for 6 and 7 year old students and coordinated by Ayca Oguz.
