How can mathematics move beyond the textbook to become a tool for meaningful global impact? This interactive workshop empowers educators to design project-based math experiences that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while maintaining rigorous mathematical thinking.

Participants will explore student projects that tackle real-world challenges, from urban mobility to climate action, and learn how to guide learners through the Project-Based Learning (PBL) cycle using mathematics as a lens for problem-solving, analysis, and advocacy. Whether you teach in MYP, IGCSE, AP, or a national curriculum, this session provides practical models, reflection tools, and scaffolds to support powerful, purpose-driven math learning.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Connect Project-Based Learning (PBL) principles with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to identify a purposeful project focus.
2. Analyze student project examples that promote sustainability, equity, and student agency.
3. Apply a planning framework to create a math-based PBL unit that engages students in meaningful, real-world action.
