Project-Based Learning in the Math Classroom explains how to keep
inquiry at the heart of mathematics teaching and helps teachers build
students' abilities to be true mathematicians. This book outlines basic
teaching strategies, such as questioning and exploration of concepts. It
also provides advanced strategies for teachers who are already
implementing inquiry-based methods. Project-Based Learning in the Math
Classroom includes practical advice about strategies the authors have
used in their own classrooms, and each chapter features strategies that
can be implemented immediately. Teaching in a project-based environment
means using great teaching practices. The authors impart strategies that
assist teachers in planning standards-based lessons, encouraging wonder
and curiosity, providing a safe environment where failure occurs, and
giving students opportunities for revision and reflection.
