Digital Age PBL

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.

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.

Although this project was created for a specific area in California, I feel that I could use the foundation and create a PBL unit that would involve a problem that my students and I have noticed on the shorelines near to the airbase here.

This project analyzes a student's writing skills, media literacy, creativity, and teamwork abilities. This classroom newpaper will also enhance student, teacher, parent relations. Summarize the theme for this project. Why do this project?

Can we overcome racism? That is the driving question of this PBL. I am considering a similar driving question (maybe!), and this PBL offered a solid start for me to better understand PBLs.

In New-Tritional Info, students use rates and proportions to calculate how long they'd have to exercise to burn off different McDonald's menu items and explore this even further in two project tasks, Have It Your Way and Would You Like Fries with That?

Although this project was created using the old PBL standard the basic components of civic responsibility for second graders can be applied to professional responsibility for respiratory therapy students. The project provides a useful template from which to build my grade and content specific content for improving safety in healthcare. The projects involves: Second graders are ready to conquer the world-and they can start with their community. In Make a Difference: Civic Responsibility, elementary school students partner with local organizations to fill a real need, help a specific population, engage in public service, and make a tangible difference in their neighborhoods and beyond.

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!

Provides great instructional strategies for different types of differentiation in PBL.

Great ideas on effectively keeping the students engaged and on task.

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.

A school in our district is a PBL-based school. This is their expected project cycle; it can be nice to see ideas that are actually implemented.

Manor New Technology High School in Manor, Texas, is a 100 percent project-based learning school. They are part of the New Tech Network of schools and their approach has yielded remarkable results, including a 98 percent graduation rate, with all of their graduates accepted to college.

Mariana Garcia's blog has wonderful PBL resources. This post has projects for life science, earth science, physical science, engineering, and STEM competitions.

May provide interesting ideas and inspiration for junior high language teachers!

great links that provide a lot of information about PBL.

Powerful video on how a teacher changed her own classroom to student driven, and how learning became more meaningful to students.

This site has an abundance of resources for incorporating PBL into math.

On the Wikipedia website about PBL it says that teaching math using PBL is one of the controversial topics because math is a skill-based subject. As a math teacher I was impressed with the amount of resources out there for PBL and math.

In the age of standardized testing and with the move toward the Common Core for the majority of states, the driving question for many teachers is: "How can I best prepare my students to meet these demands?"
