Some teaching topics to develop math competence for 10th grade students through the project - based teaching method

Abstract

In the current trend of student-centered education, curricula need to be oriented towards an open learning environment that emphasizes experiential and real-world applications. As a result, "project-based learning" has emerged as an educational model that should be integrated into the daily activities of the classroom. In this article, several learning projects with themes falling within the scope of 10th-grade mathematics have been developed with detailed implementation plans following a five-step process. Each project is tied to the practical application of mathematics, including topics such as optimization problems, the trend of electric vehicle usage, and the analysis of mathematical competencies demonstrated in each group activity. Notably, these projects have strong practical applicability in teaching, aligning with the 2018 general education curriculum for mathematics and the trend in high school graduation examinations for mathematics starting in 2025.
