Algebra for all really is possible. Unfortunately, too many students attempt to learn algebra by using memorization, and too many teachers use instructional methods that encourage memorization. Students struggle to learn algebra, and teachers struggle with how to best teach algebra so that it makes sense to their students and so that students will remember it beyond next week's test.

AbstractProblem-based learning (PBL) is an educational method that can be considered as an alternative to the traditional, discipline-based, approach to teaching. In this paper the characteristics of both approaches are discussed and compared. Some background knowledge concerning the principles that determine the success of instructional methods is presented. Finally, it is discussed how medical informatics can be taught in a PBL environment.
