A Curriculum Project on Project-based Learning Supported by Scaffolding and Collaboration in an Algebra I Classroom.

This curriculum project was designed to engage students in an Algebra classroom by providing hands-on learning opportunities that can positively impact the world around them. For this curriculum project students will investigate the world issue of pollution to design multiple mathematical representations of this issue and theorize practical solutions. This experience is meant to be collaborative, and student driven using scaffolding, reciprocal learning, and a project-based learning approach. The curriculum presents sequential lesson plans, activities, classwork, and homework on the topic of functions. The project-based learning lessons are aligned to the New York State (NYS) Next Generation Standards. The goal is to deepen students mathematical reasoning, procedural fluency, and conceptual understanding and ultimately to provide a solid foundation of high school mathematics that prepares students to join a STEM college or career field after high school.
