Abstract
This Curriculum Project presents a series of five lessons designed to incorporate project-based
learning (PBL) into a Trigonometry unit using the NYS Next Generation Standards Mathematics
Learning Standards. PBL is an alternative to the traditional method of teaching (teacher-focused,
notes, drill-and-practice, etc.) and has been proven to enhance motivation, participation, and
learning in an educational environment. Since the project is the driving force of the curriculum,
each lesson is tethered to different aspects of the project. Each stage of the project is intended to
have a problem that you must solve, and through each lesson learned the students will be able to
solve each problem as it arises. As each lesson is taught, the students can complete more and
more of the project until the final day where they bring it all together in a final PBL project.
