Description
I had to create a bulletin board with a rubric, standards, and mathematical practices for my fourth grade class. I saw a great idea for a bulletin board entitled: Think You Don't Need Math? I decided to take that idea one step further and turn it into a project for my students. The students would need to be responsible for choosing an occupation, coming up with a real life multi-step word problem in which at least one number had at least 3 digits. They needed to use at least two different operations; come up with at least two different equations with a variable and then solve. What a success! The students loved the project and it was a great way to learn more about the interests of each student. I created the project based off of the idea of the bulletin board that I saw via a Google Search. The product I am selling is the project that I created that corresponds with the bulletin board idea. I have added in various occupations in a larger size font that you can cut and use if you decide to create a similar bulletin board but the product I am selling is for a 4th grade project...not a bulletin board. The occupations in larger fonts are simply added in as a bonus if you choose to use the project and pair it with a bulletin board. There are various sellers on TPT that sell the actual bulletin board lettering for 'Think You Don't Need Math?' as a complete set.
