Students in Algebra classes taught by Danial Rowe at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High are comparing light weight materials for automobile production and the impact materials have on fuel savings.
Rowe is using project based learning to teach his students algebra. In this case, he’s presented them a letter from the National Highway Transporation Safety Administration outlining a project, assigned students to teams and given them guidelines for August 10 presentations. The students are confronted with a real world issue and are working in teams as they develop the equations and build the graphs they are required to learn under the NC Standard Course of Study and must complete for their class presentation on fuel efficient materials.
