For years I have wanted to try a project-based math class. My inspiration ebbs and flows as I encounter excellent projects and rationale for executing them. Up to this point, I have left the dream as just that–a dream. There are several reasons for this:
- I felt I was too inexperienced to take it on.
- I felt the curriculum didn’t lend itself nicely to projects.
- I didn’t have the resources and infrastructure to execute it.
- I hadn’t heard of many who believed in it.
- Couldn’t elegantly explain why I felt it was necessary.
