Abstract

This paper describes an overview of an exemplary unit developed during an Intel Teach to the future Faculty Pre-Service Training utilizing a constructivist's project based learning approach (PBL) to mathematics in the real world as espoused by state and national standards. The PBL unit creation is a highly motivating, multi-sensory project spanning the realm of multiple intelligences to actually make classroom mathematics "come alive" while demonstrating various aspects based on an essential question - "Where is the Mathematics in the Real-World." Scaffolding in the form of unit questions enhanced by technology integration directly linked to the essential question provides a fascinating unit on mathematics in the real world.
