An Observation: The importance of mathematics has long been recognized. Some 200 years ago, Nicolai Lobachevsky, a Russian mathematics professor, noted "There is no branch of mathematics which may not be applied to the real world." |
Hands-on Math Projects with Real-Life ApplicationsThere are two books with this title, one for students in grades 6-12 and the other for students in grades 3-5. The second edition of Hands-on Math Projects with Real-Life Applications for grades 6-12 contains 60 projects that will help your students apply math concepts, strategies, and skills to solve real-life, everyday problems. Each project promotes problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making and helps students to realize the relevance of math in their lives. (Published by Jossey-Bass, 2006) Hands-on Math Projects with Real-Life Applications for grades 3-5 contains 40 projects. It follows the same format as the book for older students and addresses many of the same topics, but on a third-to-fifth grade level. It, too, encourages students to apply math concepts, strategies, and skills to solve real-life problems, while promoting problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision making skills.
