Abstract

This is an action research project in which we describe deep learning of Mathematical concepts in children through using materials and by Education by Design (EBD). For this paper we define deep learning as: a) ability to apply what they learn in different contexts, b) ability to retain the concepts they learn from term to term or across grades, c) ability to connect what they learn with what they deeply care about The two methods described are a) use of physical materials to learn abstract concepts, b) creation of projects through Education By Design (EBD). EBD is a process of creating projects for learning or to demonstrate learning of a concept. In this paper we will focus on real life problems. We also describe how these EBDs have altered the norms and functioning of the school.
