[|Project Based Learning in Mathematics]Some ideas from "Project Based Learning in Mathematics: Learning Activities in Math Designed to Extend Concept Awareness"
 * //Math Cartoon// //Project// – students must create a cartoon comic strip using a minimum of six panels. The key to success in this project is that students are able to communicate a math concept, math rule, or math technique using humor. Since all students are not artistically inclined, students have the option of using a computer drawing program.


 * //Creative Math Book// //Project// – students create a book using cartoons, illustrations, and pictures to explain everyday real-world applications of math. This project supports student learning in math as they make connections with geometry, algebra, number sense, and more concepts.


 * //Math Problem Solving Video// – students create a video of everyday math they observe in the real-world that explains a math concept, math rule, or math technique. Students may work in groups to present

Project based learning in mathematics require students to: []
 * develop a plan to solve math problems posed by a project
 * collect information from a variety of sources
 * develop a plan for solving the problem
 * analyze all data and information collected
 * carry out the plan
 * communicate findings as to how the problem was solved to complete the project
