Project Based Learning Description

Our group has decided to focus on improving the basic math skills of Math I high school students. The problem is that students have a hard time with relating math to real world applications. We have designed activities that will be implemented over a ten week period of time. Each activity will build to the next activity. The activities will include planning to go to college, creating a budject, buying a car, planning a vacation, and planning a party or event. The information gained from each project will be used to complete the next project. I believe that this project will show them how we use math in everyday life and the importance of continuing their education.
