Exploring Project-Based Learning

           I liked the “Connecting Math to Our Lives” the best. I think that it is so important to incorporate math in a relatable way. In elementary school, children have more of a chance to get behind in math and if school integrated more projects like this, math would become more of a tolerable subject. It is great to involve issues that are going on in our world and view it from a math perspective. It explains how children would write story problems involving their own family situation. By using stories that are familiar with the kids will output higher comprehensive learning and better grades. I think that this project uses primarily analysis and application from Blooms Taxonomy. The only improvement I would recommend is to make sure that all the connections do come together and is clear how using math is relevant.
