Project Based Learning Bundle: Grades 3-5

Description

Bonus product: The Math Scrapbook Project (included free!)

Here is what’s included in the bundle:

The Math Scrapbook Project consists of twelve math objectives encompassing number sense, fractions, measurement, and geometry. This activity is geared more toward a teacher summative assessment of skills previously taught. The length of time for completing these project activities is determined by the teacher. Students may choose to complete any of the objectives that they desire. I have always stipulated that a certain amount of objectives must be accomplished by the established deadline. Rigor is met by requiring students to explain their thinking by providing graphs, charts, tables, and or visuals along with their solutions. I have found that this activity works very well with ELL and gifted students as well. Differentiating is easily met by tailoring the objectives to meet students “where they are.” I hope that you enjoy it. Thank you!
