Cubing Activity (Blog Post 11)

We have read so much about enriching and challenging our kids thorugh project based learning. Teachers need to create activities that foster the use of higher order thinking skills and encourage cooperative learning. I have assigned a project within each unit--some are individual and some with a group. For the unit on equations and inequalties students are to create a cube with a group. Each side of the cube has specific requirements, but they have the ability to showcase their creativity. As students create prblems for each side, the level of difficulty increases as well as the components. When students are finished creating their cube, they will swap it with another group. Not only do they enjoy the collaboration but also get reinforcement of the concepts.
