An easy-to-search database of hundreds of high-quality service-learning lesson plans, syllabi, and project ideas, submitted by educators and service-learning practitioners
The world's largest service-learning library, with full-text and print resources
This book looks at the wide variety of ways in which math, statistics, and math education teachers have incorporated service-learning into their courses. These projects are not just stand-alone community service initiatives, but rather they specifically target the improvement of mathematics skills and insights of the college students in the courses with which they are associated. The book includes a lengthy chapter on the details of converting a rough idea to a solid action plan, and displays a wide range of successful projects in order to encourage readers to develop some of their own.
Chapters include: Service-Learning in Mathematical Modeling, Service-Learning in Statistics, Education-Oriented Service-Learning Projects in Mathematics, Untapped Possibilities?, and Getting Down to Work--A "How-To" Guide for Designing and Teaching a Service-Learning Course.
