For this FIPSE funded project, mathematics faculty attended allied health classes and allied health faculty attended developmental mathematics courses to incorporate health examples into the developmental mathematics curriculum. Through the course of this grant a 450-page developmental mathematics book was written with many problems from a variety of allied health fields (Shore, 2003). A pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire were developed and found to be reliable. Results consistently showed the experimental sections of developmental mathematics that incorporated allied health examples and problem-based learning scored significantly higher than the control sections. In fact, the scores for students in sections taught using PBL and allied health examples during the first year of the grant were significantly greater than the scores for students the preceding semester of the grant, taught by the same teachers.
