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.
