Project Based Mathematics

Abstract

When you think of assigning math work usually the first thing that pops into the students mind is having to memorize math facts and principles. Students should be challenged and see the reality that understand and using math will be apart of their everyday life. problem based learning allows the student to have real experiences while actively learning(Trop & Sage 2002). Problem based learning also puts students in the center of the problem causing them to be motivated to participate because they are the “owner” of the problem.
