Basic Operations Projects (by rating)

Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.

This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.

What's included:

• A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
• A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
• A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
• The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
• Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
• A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
• A social media post for students to create.

The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.

Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.

What other teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."

These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

Halloween Addition Task Cards

Stone Age Essay

Animal Cell Collaborative Poster

This is a simple project, but it adds in real life scenario of what the cost is going out to eat. Students end up shocked at the cost of going out to eat! The students pick out a restaurant of their choice (can download the menu offline), "go out to eat" with three other family members, order, determine cost, sales tax and tip for a total of going out to eat for 4 people. This could be a group project with four students going out to eat and seeing what the cost is for each. Either way, it shows their decimal skills with basic math operations and gives them a new appreciation of going out to eat!

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (they range from 8&4 to 80&4 so students can choose an appropriate challenge), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation and explain how they did it. A rubric (out of 4) is included.

Lots of Differentiation with

- Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging

- Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspects

- Additional number choices for students who need a modified curriculum or extra challenge

Note: Some of the preview pictures are of my other product which is almost the same but with fractions. If you see fractions in the preview pictures, don't worry there are no fractions in this project.

Addition scarecrow is a fun activity to reinforce addition vocabulary, representing addition in multiple ways, and using fact family triangles. This activity is perfect for fine motor sills as well.

This project combines 10 mathematical concepts into a hands-on project - building a 3-D strawberry box. The project involves the math of carpentry, dietetics, sales, and data analysis. The math topics involved include:

• The Theorem of Pythagoras
• Geometrical Problem Solving
• Elementary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with lengths, money etc.
• Volume of prisms
• Ratio, Proportion, Percents, Fractions
• Internet research for appropriate formulas
• Mathematics by trial and error
•  Mathematics should be practical whenever it is at all possible.

Included is a link to a Google Sheet where students can ...

• experience how to "code" how to buy the right amount of wood at the cheapest price.
• make some selections of different lengths of wood to get the best price.

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (one fraction, one whole or mixed), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation, and checks their answer using keep-change-flip. An MYP Communication rubric (out of 8) and a 100 point rubric are both included so you can choose.

Lots of Differentiation with

- Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging

- Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspects

- Additional number choices for students who need a modified curriculum

- Option to do it as a partner project or individually

This was originally created for MYP Criterion C (communication) but can be used in any 5th or 6th grade class. I included a rubric that adds up to 100 to accommodate other grading policies.

This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.

This resource works great as ...

• a task
• a class project (it takes roughly a week)
• distance learning
• math centers
• constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.

And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!
