Students remember the most from lessons with hands-on activities. Project-based and discovery learning help students take ownership of their education. Curiosity helps students engage and understand a topic better, rather than just memorizing rules or formulas.
Project-based learning (PBL) is more than just math education. It makes math lessons really cool, engaging, and memorable. It gives students the opportunity to practice important skills for the 21st century workplace, including collaboration, teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and critical and interdisciplinary thinking.
Why project-based learning? What is so wonderful about it? It gives your students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through meeting challenges, and solving real-world problems keeping students engaged. They can work at their own pace and don’t even realize they are learning. Give students more control over their educational process by letting them make their own decisions.
Gamification is the use of mechanisms known from games, for example, to stimulate learning that motivates students to solve tasks by scoring points, moving to the next stages, and winning. By creating an engaging storyline, each child wants to move forward through the activity and turns to books to find the correct result.
Math and Art projects. Does math have to be boring? NO! Adding art to a math lesson makes math more fun, which leads to increased interest and causes children to naturally perform better. The combination of math and art increases creativity among students. Strengthening artistic abilities has a positive effect on math skills. This combination causes the mind to think in new and unexpected ways. Since art is known to evoke emotion, integrating the two subjects can make students more receptive to math concepts and more creative when solving math problems.
"Creativity is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status."
