About
Ready to infuse real-life experience into your Math class? Math projects are a great way to do just that!
Curriculum content is best suited to Grades 2-3, but also will be a great way for fourth grade students to work with skills that they already have learned. Learning how to problem-solve in real life scenarios is one of the biggest goals of these Math Projects!
Ideas for Use
Math projects are an ideal way to consolidate learning. I recommend using them as an engaging activity AFTER skills have been learned rather than during learning. You will likely find that engagement is very high and that your students ask to do more of these!
There are many ways to use math projects in your classroom. Some of the most popular are:
•a small-group or pairs activity
•a guided math activity to allow you to see where your students are struggling
•a fun, rewarding way to engage your early finishers
•a low-prep, easy-to-implement activity for a substitute teacher

What Teachers Are Saying
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is a fantastic resource! My students loved using this resource because it is very engaging. The opportunity for discussions and lay out of the written math work allowed all of my students to enjoy the work including those who struggle in math and writing challenges. Very helpful resource, thanks!" Beth L.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Thank you, my students had fun! Shelley Gray is my go to for students who need review or students who are excelling because it keeps them engaged." Vivian F.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I got these to use with my son at home. He claims that math is difficult for him, and these projects really engage him. They've boosted his confidence since he can see that he does understand the concepts and their real-life application." Rebecca C.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "These are great for weeks that are disrupted from the regular routine, as well as when students need an extra challenge. Some students enjoy doing these when they finish other work and challenge themselves. It was a challenge for some of my 3rd graders, so partner or group work helped to support them." Laura C.
