This course follows the layout of the three books in the series Project-Based Learning in the Math Classroom . You will learn why Project-Based Learning (PBL) is such a great process to add to your tool bag and also why pbl works in a math classroom setting. 

You will learn the components that lead to a classroom filled with inquiry as well as how to select the best math standards to use with the PBL process. And then you will be shown the thinking and planning needed to create a PBL Task or PBL Unit. 

In the introduction you will be given a journal that you may use throughout the course. There are specific places in each module called "Pause for Thought" where you will be given questions to ponder that are replicated in the journal. In the last module you will be asked to interact with your journal as you get ready to become a PBL teacher.
