Today's Discussion
It is well known that the classroom learning in mathematics has a positive impacton the learning, and developmental skills of students. Project-based learning has
become the growing demand in the education system in the rapidly developingsociety. Project-based learning mainly focuses on the progress of students byhelping them to plan their actions on their own to obtain the skills and acquireessential knowledge. In the process of learning mathematics, the essential ofproject training was offered to students which aim at the development of their
analytical and creative skills.
In Brief
In today’s generation students are greatly exposed to technologies.
The surfacing of interactive classroom is a new educational system that has beenrecently carried out in almost all learning disciplines and studies.
Interactive classroom promotes modern way of learning, and it allows lecturers to usedifferent media for teaching.
Project-based learning is one of the common and active learning methods accomplishedin the mathematics subject that gives importance to student-centered learning.
Introduction
Project-Based Learning (PBL) is the suitable method for creating appropriatelearning media.
PBL assists students to work together as a team to gain knowledge of the conceptsto apply acquired knowledge, and to develop skills.
PBL facilitates students to exhibit their skills to achieve their success, becoming agood teammate, encouraging students, developing their content knowledge, andexposing students to wide variety of skills and different styles of learning.
Project Based Learning
(1) initial observation of the concept,
(2) examining the appropriate literature,
(3) preparing materials for learning,
(4) implementing project-based learning,
(5) dealing with fundamental question,
(6) planning the schedule,
(7) monitoring and examining the result,
(8) evaluating and analyzing the data.
Research Steps
1. BASIC QUESTIONS: The project-based learning was implemented by determining the basic questions. It isbased on: 1. key material, 2. core competency, 3. fundamental skill, 4. Indicator forlearning, and 5. plan of learning media. 2. PROJECT SCHEDULE: The second step in PBL is planning for the schedule. The schedule for learning isdiscussed in the class, as shown in the below table.
Five Steps for Getting Started with PBL

3. PLANNING THE PROJECT: Project planning was designed by forming and presenting the storyboard. Storyboard was created according to the following format: 1. key material, 2. core competency, 3. fundamental skill, 4. knowledge indicators, 5. tools and equipment,
Contd..
6. predicted time for creating storyboard, 7. ways to utilize it, 8. predicted time of using media in the classroom, 9. outline of learning media.
4. MONITORING: => Monitoring is done by presenting the storyboard that has been designed and then the storyboard is revised, and the media is created. => The students make necessary alteration to the learning media through their presentation activities to avoid similarities with the media that are created by other students. => The statistical learning media facilitated in verifying the originality of the topic presented in the form of graphs. => One group of student used paper beam material as in figure 2a, while other group of student used the pipe as in figure 2b to create a bar chart.

5. EXAMINING AND EVALUATING RESULTS: => In the final stage, every student presents interactive learning media. => And the students can also form a variety of learning media. => The final step in the implementation of project-based learning is theevaluation of the task by exhibiting the learning media.
The five main approaches in project-based learning are: 1. Clarifying and sharing knowledge to others. 2. Effective classroom interactions among students improve understanding of students. 3. Providing opinion that help students to proceed further in learning. 4. Encouraging students to teach or convey their acquired knowledge to other students. 5. Making students feel that they can understand and learn any concept on their own.
Conclusion
Incorporating the fundamentals of mathematics in a well-thought curriculumusing robotics will prompt the curiosity of the students and interest in learning.
The integrated curriculum in Mathematics should renovate the students to bemore aware and attentive while solving a problem and while doing any othercreative tasks.
