Project-Based Learning is a form of instruction that involves students in challenging, real-world projects which gives students an opportunity to investigate and build knowledge via practical application. Students actively participate in the project planning, execution, and evaluation processes, which promotes a sense of freedom and responsibility. Teams of students use their varied views and skills to solve complicated challenges. Their collaboration improves interpersonal, critical thinking, and communication abilities, reflecting the importance of teamwork in real-world workplaces. This article provides an overview of project-based learning, highlighting its key features and benefits in fostering critical skills and knowledge acquisition in mathematics learning.
