Abstract
Problem based learning was the foundation for this action research study. One class received direct instruction during the duration of the study while the other class received a mixed method approach of problem based instruction as well as direct instruction. The results from this study support the hypothesis that students will learn and have a better understanding of mathematical concepts if taught using a problem-based approach. Background for the research, literature to support the study, methodology, findings, discussion and implications for results are discussed within the contents of this study.
