Decimal Multiplication Math - Cotton Candy Stand - Project Based Learning
By E•Fish•ient Teaching
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:
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!

Pump up and motivate your strong math students with this engaging, hands-on project-based learning which will have them discovering the history of constellations, measuring constellations, working on challenging math problems and creating their own constellations.
Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.
In this document, you'll discover 32 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities in line with geometry and angles which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways.
You'll find:
- 60 Constellation cards and a guide on how to use them.
- A second set of 60 constellation cards with "lettered" corners (i.e. ∠ABC).
- A set of response pages to measure all corners in the 60 given constellations.
- A reading comprehension piece on the history of constellations and astronomy.
- 2 pages of questions and an answer key for the reading comprehension piece.
- "Les symboles du Zodiac" - An activity sheet on naming the different constellations of the zodiac.
- A research project on a constellation:
- "Des calculs célestes" - 3 pages of challenging word problems with an answer key.
- "Crée ta propre constellation" - A following directions activity on creating constellations with specific angles and shapes within them.
- "Crée ta propre constellation" - An activity on creating a unique constellation.
- "Art de constellation" - An art project suitable for your enriched students and your entire group as a final activity.
This is the first of (hopefully) many enrichment projects for math. Stay tuned!
For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun.

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!
