Project-Based Learning: Breathing Relevance (and Fun) Into Math

Project-Based Learning (PBL) goes beyond the worksheet to show students how and when their math skills interact with real-life applications while providing engaging, scaffolded lesson opportunities for higher order thinking. Elementary students are no stranger to asking the age old question of “why do I need to know this?” A PBL activity in mathematics can be just the answer a teacher needs. The Project-Based Math Library, available for upper elementary, has tons of options to breath relevance and hands-on opportunities into elementary mathematics.

How to Teach Complex Math Concepts With Project-Based Learning

“I am so grateful for this curriculum! I am sitting right now in a quiet classroom, with kiddos that are writing so hard and working on finishing their narratives. I always dreamed my writing class would look like this, but it has never become reality until this year. I can already see so much growth in my students! Thank you!!”
