I want my maths classes to be more like this

Project based learning in maths

I've been reading some amazing research by Jo Boaler, who is currently working at Stanford University in California, about project based learning and open ended questions in maths.  She's found that schools using project based learning methods have seen great improvements in achievement as well as engagement with the subject.  This is something that we are trying to integrate into our classroom programme - not sure how that's going to work but watch this space!!
