Elements of PBL

Components in a math project

Hands-on project

After this lesson, students will prepare a presentation to discuss the different angles measurements and the names of different angles.

Driving question

The core question presented to students is: From our daily life, in which things can we find angels?

For instance, the two sharp edges of scissors, two arms of a divider, and clock hands are all hinged at a point and inclined toward one another.

New knowledge

Students will learn about “decimals, Fractions, and different shapes and angles”.

Student-driven

Students will learn the actual cost of various items and the discounts available.

The students lead the initiative.

The role of the instructor is to serve as a resource for the students and to promote and scaffold their learning.

Realistic

This project is doable for the age range of students involved in the experimental study.

Since these children are in primary school, it is reasonable to assume they are familiar with measurement, forms, and angles.

That makes sense, and the allotment of days for the project corresponding to the number of duties assigned to students also makes sense.

Real-life skills acquired

Students could acquire skills relevant to the twenty-first century since they were required to work in groups of four to five to enhance their collaboration ability.

The completion of their project assisted them in developing abilities in problem-solving as well as communication.

Real-world application

This activity has applicability in the real world since many of these elementary school pupils will, in the not-too-distant future, need to prepare to create angles.

Connected to the curriculum

PBL project claimed that numerous requirements must be satisfied.

These standards must entail building angles and two-dimensional figures, features and attributes of geometric forms, and developing arguments addressing the geometric relationships between the shapes.
