They are a wonderful example, as they incorporate a diverse number of disciplines to achieve their goals, and many times Adam and Jaimie (the old hosts) would take different approaches to the same problem with similar results, which drives home the whole "no one right answer" concept. -Brian

Any time I can use Mythbusters, it makes my students more invested. Awesome idea. -Sheri

This is the second article on this topic where I've seen the Mythbusters. Their style of projects fit really well with what is being done as challenge projects. Using them as examples would give students something they can relate to.

The one problem I see with  the Challenge Based learning is that it requires students to not only focus on real world problems, but global real world problems. I'm curious if there is any information on using this method of learning applied to smaller scale problems, but still using the same structure and technologies. -John A.

Does it HAVE to focus on global issues or is that just an option?  I am still trying to figure that one out.  I agree that it would be easier to focus on smaller scale problems.

It seems like all the big ideas are big issues. I think that Challenge Based learning on a small scale would be very useful. -John A.

Great information and some good examples, I also like the framework.

Hi!  I have not been able to add my own text boxes, still trying to work out that kink, however it seems to allow me to add on to others.  Hope you don't mind, Sheri.  I also like the idea of challenge based learning as it incorporates that technology component. I added this resource below. It seems to paint a great picture of CBL.

This is a comprehensive take-away resource from my workshops on Challenge Based Learning (a.k.a. Project Based Learning)

I really like the idea of researching challenge based learning. I found this article that gives some good descriptions and examples. -John A.

My personal goals would be to have my students do a challenge-based project at the end of the 3rd nine-week and 4th nine-weeks. Based on the article students come up with real-world solutions that incorporates technology.  Digital resources I have read it from the NCTM – Modeling Orbital Debris Problems.   -Sheri

Angela- Personal Goals

My personal goals for this project would be to gain a better understanding of challenge based learning as a whole and to be able to apply it in my own classroom.  I like the idea of using Padlet with my students as a way to share ideas and give input.

I was going in the direction of an NCTM project - Modeling Orbital Debris Problems, but this are so concise and straightforward.

I thought it was pretty great. It helps show the power and potential real life applications of mathematics that students often are either unaware of or take for granted. -Brian

I agree, this looks very interesting.  My content area is ELA, but I this is definitely a resource to share with our hs math teacher.  Here is another great resources which contains some helpful information as well as additional links to ideas, lessons, and projects.

This is really cool, I've never heard of it. Definitely going to share at my school and keep in mind for next year.  The previous year's problems give great examples that can be used in my classroom.

I read the same article, it seems to highlight the differences pretty well. In speaking to a friend, he told me about a competition he was in through the YSU mathematics dept. which seems like a good example. It is called the COMAP competition, where groups of 3 students are free to use any kind of mathematics they like to make a mathematical model of a real life situation or problem, which changes with each competition. They are tasked with solving a problem, and free to use whatever mathematical tools they feel necessary. The problem he had was the most efficient design for a traffic circle. Would this be considered Challenge based learning? The use of technology is recommended, and the students cooperate in small groups, with no clear, single solution. They are also, depending on their abilities, able to create real solutions to real world problems. -Brian

I think we should focus on Challenge based learning for this project. -Sheri

What is the Difference Between Problem, Project, and Challenge Based Learning?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
With all the buzzwords in education, it can be difficult to keep certain concepts straight. Problem, project, and challenge-based learning are all popular methods that can be easily confused. However, these are three different approaches. Problem-based learning starts, as the name suggests, with a problem. In this model, students are presented with an open-ended problem.
