A reform-based
program that uses innovative teaching strategies to
eliminate fear of math and make learning fun.
How
It Works
Project MIND
emphasizes total school reform aimed at accelerating student achievement
through the participation of the total school.
Project MIND
is designed to complement and enhance the core curriculum being
used through the incorporation of innovative teaching strategies.
The program
emphasizes the use of games and story telling to make learning
math fun and exciting.
In Project
Mind, students interact with one another, create their own math
games and brain teasers, apply mathematics to real-world problems,
and learn a variety of simple strategies to solve complex problems.
Because students
take an active role in their education, they develop a personal
connection with the day's lesson, thus leading to a sense of personal
pride and accomplishment.
Teachers
pose problems, ask questions that encourage students to explore
different solutions, and utilize mathematical tools collected
from every day life to provide subject matter and show real-life
applications.
Teachers
also encourage students to think carefully about mathematics in
a given situation and make connections to other concepts within
mathematics and other disciplines.
Project MIND
is suitable for students in grades K-12.
