  1. Project Based Math Session 1: Developing an idea.

  2. How do we get started? Steps to developing an idea for your project: • Decide what objectives you want to teach. • Decide when you want to teach them. • Determine what resources you have available. • Develop a Driving question • Name your project!

  3. Selecting objectives • Review 9 week Standards Division Documents for ELA, SS, Science, Math, Art, PE. • Identify what 21st Century skills you would like the students to learn: Collaboration, technology skills, communication skills, research skills. • Look for possible connections that could be developed in a project.

  4. When? How Long? • Determine when you plan on doing the project and how much time it will take to complete. • What other academic initiatives are going on? • Allow time for students to master content and skills in the development of their product.

  5. Sources of Inspiration • Your 9 week standard division documents • Your community, your students' interests, what happens in the world outside of school, or your content standards. • Your colleagues’ file cabinets might contain project ideas — or ideas could be in their heads, if you ask. • Browse Online Project Libraries set up by some states, school districts, school reform networks, and other educational organizations. • Use Project Search to easily access hundreds of indexed projects available on the Internet by simply choosing a subject.

  6. What is a Driving Question? • Provocative or challenging to students, because it is relevant, important, urgent or otherwise interesting. • Open-ended and/or complex; there is no single “right answer,” or at least no simple “yes” or “no” answer. It requires in-depth inquiry and higher-level thinking. • Linked to the core of what you want students to learn; to answer it well, students would need to gain the knowledge and skills you have targeted as goals for the project.

  7. Make and use a tubric to develop a Driving Question Crate a Tubric: http://www.bie.org/images/uploads/useful_stuff/Tubric.pdf Watch the TUBRIC video

  8. What is your Driving question? Work with your team to develop a driving question. Post it on the PBM Edmodo Site.

  9. Naming your Project • Imagine how thrilled your students would be to hear they were starting a project called “The 4th Amendment Project.” Now imagine if they’d be more interested in a project called “Can Police Do That to Me?” Or instead of “The Local Geology Project”, how about “This Place Rocks!” • Come up with a creative project name and post it on the Wikispace
