The teacher will assess the students during their presentations, looking for accuracy and completeness. The
teacher will also ask questions to make sure students have taken in the knowledge about their topic during
the presentation or at the end. Students will receive the teacher’s feedback after all presentations have
concluded. This information from all the projects will be collected into one file to be shared with all students
for their learning. To ensure students have taken in information from all presentations, a small quiz is
recommended.
Reflective Practice:
After taking a history of math course in my undergraduate career, I understand the importance of
understanding where the math we learn and use today originated. Learning about the history of math also
shows how many different societies contributed to concepts used today. This spans from ancient civilization
contributions to the formation of modern calculus. This way, students that come from other places can see
the contributions of their culture. I also believe that by using BBPT’s, students are able to get more involved
with what they are learning. Since some of these concepts are above their level, examining the history and
significance of that topic can bring an understanding to topics they know along with more advanced ones.
