Projects in Math Class Revisited

Session 6

Morgan Bushnell, Brad Latimer — Science Leadership Academy

Lab B

SLA has been a project based school since its inception, and we have been developing and revising math projects since 2006. This session will focus on how we develop these projects, how we revise them/create new projects, and what different structures for the projects look like. During the session, students and teachers will present projects that they used in the past, with a focus on the process of project development/revision. There will also be significant time for participants to develop/workshop projects for their own math classes, so please bring an outline for a math project, or a project description that you'd like to revise. By the end of the session, all participants should walk away with a project that they intend to use during an upcoming unit.

Conversational Practice

Participants will collaborate to workshop, design, and revise math projects.
