Elementary School Math Projects

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!

Easy way to practice fractions of a set & comparing fractions with students? Use this easy no prep digital activity! Designed for use with Google Slides.

Each student will need a small pack of either a fruity candy or chocolate candy. There are options for both google slides with the traditional colors of each in the paid download.

Students will drag and drop to show their set. They will then review the vocabulary numerator and denominator before creating fractions for each color of candy.

Alternately, you can also have students just create a set of "candies" using colors of their choice, without giving them any actual candy.

Students will also review the rules for comparing fractions with the same denominator. Students will drag and drop inequality symbols to compare the amounts of different colors of candies in their set.

The no prep digital Google Slides activity is embedded as a link that will create a new copy for you in your Google Drive. It can then be shared with students or posted on Google Classroom.

Please note a Google account is needed to access the Google Drive version. Please reach out with any questions!

PLEASE NOTE THIS ACTIVITY IS ONLY DIGITAL. NO STUDENT USE PRINTABLE PDF OPTION IS INCLUDED.

Do you have an extra day when you'd love to take the entire class on an adventure of fun and excitement? Maybe you have a group of lightning-fast learners who breeze through assignments in no time. Giving them more of the same problems they've already mastered would be a wasted opportunity. So why not shake things up? How about introducing them to a thrilling world of discovery, with absolutely NO EXTRA WORK for you?

Programming!

Introducing "Learn to Program Scratch" task cards! These cards bring to life Scratch, a visually captivating computer programming language created by none other than MIT. Every student should have a taste of programming, and as math teachers, we hold the key to open this amazing door. Computer programming is the ultimate fusion of math and logic, and brace yourself... it's also fun!

Prepare to witness a spark of interest in your students! For many of them, the vast world of coding remains an enigma, with no clue where to begin. And let's face it, not all schools offer a comprehensive computer science curriculum. But fear not! These task cards act as a stepping stone, paving the way for their journey into the realms of Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and more!

Hold on tight, because here's what's packed inside this treasure trove:

• 16 Task Cards, each one the start of a new adventure!
• But wait, there's more! Each card boasts three levels of differentiated challenges: N00b, Coder, and Hacker. That's a staggering total of 48 mini projects!
• Need a guiding light? We've got you covered with a full answer key.
• Flexibility at its finest! These cards can be done in any order, allowing you to print out one or two sets, laminate them for extra durability, and share them with multiple students!
• The cards are color-coded, following the Scratch theme. And hey, we understand if color printing isn't an option, so we've also labeled them for your convenience.
• Dive into the experience headfirst with an introduction video and a written overview of Scratch vocabulary. We're here to ensure you and your students have the smoothest journey possible!

*** Pro tip: Printing the cards on thicker paper (cardstock) and laminating them not only elevates their durability but ensures they withstand the test of time, unleashing countless moments of wonder and discovery!

This resource would be a fun, engaging way for students to practice using area concepts with basic multiplication to create the best layout for the interior of a leprechaun house. The goal is for students to include the four required pieces (bed, couch, table and two chairs), and to then include as many of the optional extras as possible to create the most magical leprechaun home that they can.

This resource would be a fun activity to do on or near St. Patrick's Day. It could be used as a whole group activity, center work, a time filler, an activity to leave for a substitute, etc.

Scrappy Patchwork Quilts

A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme. In this new version of cut and paste, students will make a scrappy quilt using a variety of pattern blocks included in the activity. The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).

What is a lapbook?

A lapbook is a book made from a file folder that includes various information about a topic. Students can create a lap book by cutting, coloring (when needed), and gluing them inside a file folder. The finished file folder book is called a lapbook because the book is usually big enough to spread out on your lap to read.

Lapbooks do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students are to use the information to build their books creatively and uniquely! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the information!

All of the hard work is done for you. Just print the pieces, give each student one file folder, and let your students get creative!
