8 What is PBL? Problem Based Learning

9 A form of inquiry-based education, originally invented for medical school, where learning is initiated with an ill structured problem and students learn to direct their own course of study. Dr. Shelagh Gallagher

10 PBL keeps students from asking, Will I ever use this real life?

11 Difference in Problem Based and Project Based? Project Based Learning Multi Disciplinary Tend to be lengthy Problem Based Learning Mainly single subject Less amount of time Really, they are very much alike and you can use what works best for you!

12 What does that mean for math classes? Engaged students who find relevance in what they are doing in math classes!

28 1. Pick 2. Brainstorm 3. Lay it out

29 1. Pick Pick your objectives or skills. Which skills do you want your students to apply and demonstrate mastery.

30 2. Brainstorm Brainstorm real world ideas and scenarios. Bring objectives and real world ideas together. Let your imagination guide you!

31 3. Lay it out What resources will you need? How will you know if students have mastered the skill?

32 It may several attempts to create the most effective lesson. Don t give up! Change and try again.

33 Let s practice! Work with a partner and follow the 3 steps. 1. Pick 2. Brainstorm 3. Lay it out.

The owner of the moving company, Mr. Smith, showed up Saturday morning to begin packing all of the Davis things into cardboard boxes. Ten hours later, Mr. Smith packed the last of their things into boxes and breathed a huge sigh of relief. Before Mr. Smith left Davis house, he counted all of the boxes that had been packed because he needed to determine what size moving truck to use to move the Davis to the mountains. The table below contains his data. Box Size Box Length Box Width Box Height Number of (inches) (inches) (inches) boxes used Cost per box Small $1.70 Medium $2.35 Large $3.00 What is the total volume of the boxes that need to be moved? Small Boxes Medium Boxes Large Boxes Total Volume of all Boxes: What is the cost for all the boxes? Cost of small boxes Cost of medium boxes Cost of large boxes Total Cost of all Boxes?

36 Mr. Smith has the choice of two trucks that he could use to move Mr. Davis. The information for each truck is in the table below.

Remember, there are 12 inches in each foot. What is the volume of each truck? Volume of 16 Foot Truck Volume of 24 Foot Truck Questions that need to be answered: 1. What size truck should Mr. Smith use to move the Davis things to his cabin in the mountains? Hint: Compare the total volume of the boxes to the volume of each truck. Which truck is the best choice? Volume of Boxes vs. Volume of 16 Foot Truck Volume of Boxes vs. Volume of 24 Foot Truck 2. How much will it cost Mr. Davis to use the Mr. Smith s You Call, We Haul moving company to move to the mountains? Hint: Add up the cost of all boxes, cost of truck, and labor cost. Cost of Boxes Cost of Truck Cost of Labor Total Cost
