Why PBL in Math?
Why do we have to learn this?
Can students make connections between what you teach them and real practice?
Eeva Reeder
Buck Institute:
Problem based learning leads students to gain essential knowledge and concepts in the context of real world problem solving.
Students:•confront a realistic dilemma that, through analysis, investigation, research, and discussion allows for more than one possible solution;•become intrigued by the problem they are addressing, and motivated to learn the standards-based knowledge that is essential to understanding and solving the problem;•work with their peers to solve the problem, with coaching from the teacher;•demonstrate their new knowledge in authentic formats, often to an external audience.
How does that translate into practice?
