I am a huge fan of doing projects in math. I try to come up with at least one small project for each unit. It allows me to see what the students understand in a way other then on tests and quizzes. My 8th graders really struggled with a recent unit on System of Equations. I knew I needed to come up with a project that allowed them to review the material as well as show me their understanding. I decided to put them in three groups to make a Glog about each of the three methods for solving systems. This allowed them to go back into their notes and textbooks to really delve into how each method was applied and when it should be applied. My kids LOVED using Glogster and the results are wonderful! Check out them out!
