Great Resource! Students were engaged and really enjoyed this activity.
I actually can't even put into words how fabulous this was. I don't know who enjoyed it more - me or my students! This was a GREAT project, and I had the students make posters based on their findings. We took this resource and expanded it to its full potential. GREAT!!!! 10/10 easily
Excellent resource for showing math in the real world.
I love how this had great real world application and a sense of choice included.
Real World Math Projects
I am always trying to create or find projects where each students' project will be different than every other students in the class because it is more authentic this way. And of course, I want it to be applicable in the real world! This is not always easy to make because if every student’s project is different, or even has an unlimited number of solutions, checking each one is extremely difficult and time-consuming for the teacher. Well, guess what?!...these projects are authentic.
