What IS a WebQuest?
A webquest is an activity in which students utilize World Wide Web resources to obtain information that is then used in a group project.
A math webquest is a project which uses internet resources to obtain relevant data which is then analyzed and used in various mathematical exercises.
Most math webquests involve work in cooperative groups where students work together in a constructivist setting to explore and understand mathematics.
Most math webquests involve reasoning and critical thinking by data collection on the Web and data analysis to use this information to reach conclusions or answer questions.
Math webquests typically involve all five of the process standards in the NCTM Goals 2000: problem solving, reasoning, communication, connections, and representation.
