Abstract

This paper presents a project—an extended exploratory activity—designed in accordance with the guidelines of the Greek Institute of Educational Policy (IEP). The project is intended for the orientation stream of the second year of Lyceum (Grade 11), specifically within the unit on hyperbolas. The aim of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, to create an exploratory learning environment for students; and on the other, to provide teachers with a project design proposal based on a typical exercise from the school textbook. Its design is informed by Kolb's theory concerning Experiential Learning and by the theoretical framework of Anderson's taxonomy. The teaching approach adopted is Problem-Based Learning (PBL).. Educational software has been a helpful assistant too, almost in all stages of the project, during its development.
