Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices Click the link or image above to learn more about effective teaching practices in math. I consulted our Math Interventionists to learn more about how Problem Based Learning fit into our professional practice. I was provided the document above along with a conversation supporting the ideas presented in the examples below. I found many of the examples interesting and worked to solve them as the problem was presented in a way that caught my interest. Please explore the resources below and let me know if there is anything I can do to assist. Robert Kaplinsky has created a site for Problem Based Learning focused on Math. He has the resources separated by grade level and includes a number of current or recent world events in his lesson ideas. Math education is not my area of expertise, but I found some of the problems interesting and I wanted to work through the problem to find the solution.
If you don't teach math, you might find the format of the lessons valuable to create problem based scenarios in your subject area. Here is an article from Cornell University outlining Problem Based Learning. He also has Blog and Resource pages that include professional resources that go beyond Math curriculum. Last year I met with a math teacher and she shared the work of Dan Meyer who has created other Problem Based examples. Here is the link to the previous post that contains Dan Meyer's examples. Yet another example of math problems - I found Andrew Stadel's 180 days of estimation blog with some interesting lesson ideas as another resource for math. The first lesson I found was on cup stacking and estimation. Check out his page for more ideas.
