4th Grade Basic Operations Projects (by date, oldest first)

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.

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!
