Problem/Project

                    This blog is going to be about the problem/project. This was a very interesting and eye opening project.We did a project that was centered for fourth graders. We covered three content areas throughout the process of this project. The project was the students had to find the mean, median, and mode for their sports team, design a stadium for their team, and build a model for their team.  One of the reasons for that is because before this project I never realized how much work went into designing a project for mathematics. There are lots of areas that have to be covered when designing a problem or project like this. However, this project also shows how important collaboration can be when it comes to making sure that everything is covered in the project. This project is also very beneficial to show us what kind of standards need to be covered depending of what grade level you choose to teach and create the problem for. It is also important to make sure that the standards you chose line up with the objectives you have for the problem. You also have to make sure that you take into account any 504s, IEPs, or ELLs you might have in your classroom when designing these problems.
                     Overall it was a very rewarding project to be apart of. The two partners I had were perfect, and we worked together so well to make sure this project was accomplished. We certainly took the time and went over every requirement for this project. This also showed me, as mentioned previously, how much time will be needed to be put into planning these projects for the students in my classroom. This project also showed me how you can cover several content areas when planning and teaching this problem/project.
