Geometry Students Angle into Architecture through Project Learning - Every spring at Mountlake Terrace High School, near Seattle, students in [|Eeva Reeder's] geometry classes work feverishly to complete an architectural challenge: Design a 2,000-student high school to meet learning needs in 2050, fitting it on a given site.

Equations Project PDF - The teacher provides four numbers to the students. Then, in groups, the class uses those numbers and order of operations to creat expressions that equal 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...

Systems of Equations Project - Working in pairs, students find data that interests them (for example: wins of their favorite sports teams) and create a scatter plot and line of best fit for each students data of choice. Then using the two graphs student can solve the system and answers analysis questions.

[] has PBL checklists that you can create and print. Also has math fact games.

[]# a 30 minute video about PBL...I didn't watch it, but it has "mummifed chicken" in the title!

[] apparently there IS a difference...

[] towards the bottom there is a link for "Parabolas in real life" video on you tube.

[] [] group report form

[] has a cool geometry map project

[] at the very bottom there are links to activity worksheets (data would need to be updated).
