About This Book
Appropriate for grades 6 through 12, Hands-On Math Projects with Real-Life Applications, Second Edition consists of two parts: Part One focuses on implementation and management, and Part Two contains sixty projects for your students. The projects support the Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), as well as meet the mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act that call for project-based learning, problem-solving strategies in mathematics, and the integration of technology in the classroom.
The new edition of this book retains the valued features of the first edition, while updating its relevance and extending its scope. All of the projects have been revised to reflect current trends, numerical data have been redone, and information on the use of technology has been greatly expanded. For many projects, students will use the resources of the World Wide Web to obtain information that they then use to solve the problem the project presents. Some projects have been replaced with new projects that hold greater applications for today, including Project 25, Rating Math Web Sites, Project 55, Maintaining a Math Class Web Site, and Project 56, Selecting a Sound System Using the Internet.
The new edition, like the original one, is designed for easy implementation. Each project stands alone and may be used with students of various grade levels and abilities, providing teachers with great flexibility for instruction.
To prepare students for the demands they will face in the workplace, math teachers must provide a classroom environment where students are challenged to solve real-life problems, where they may collaborate and share ideas, where they use calculators and computers, where they express their thoughts orally and in writing, and where they recognize that mathematics is not an isolated subject but is connected to other disciplines. The projects in this book will help you to achieve these goals.
