Why
Do Project-Based Learning?
Project-based learning (PBL) is a model for classroom
activity that shifts away from the classroom practices of short, isolated,
teacher-centered lessons and instead emphasizes learning activities that
are long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centered, and integrated with
real world issues and practices. One immediate benefit of practicing PBL
is the unique way that it can motivate students by engaging them in their
own learning.
What
Is Contextual Learning?
What is the best way to convey the many concepts
that are taught in a particular course so that all students can use and
retain that information? How can the individual lessons be understood as
interconnected pieces that build upon each other? How can a teacher communicate
effectively with students who wonder about the reason for, the meaning
of, and the relevance of what they study?
Contextual
Learning Resources: Mathematics Classroom Resources
CORD Applied Mathematics, enabled thousands of
high school students to master algebra and geometry concepts in a meaningful

Today, Applied Mathematics is still available in its 40-module series,
and has been joined by four new CORD mathematics programs in the contextual
arena.
