There are 5 parts to the project including sending invitations, planning decorations, food and drink and games, as well as finding the total cost at the end. There are 21 total questions in this project, as well as a BONUS three extension pages! Some are single-step and some are multi-step problems similar to a math task.
There are 2 versions of the project, designed to be differentiated for your class and to help scaffold students towards independent problem solving.
- Problem Solving Support: The first version includes story problem solving graphic organizers for each problem to help scaffold your students towards solving the single and multi-step story problems. This version is great for your students that need to practice fluency and need support making story problems more accessible.
- Independent Problem Solving: The second version does not include the graphic organizers, so students need to interpret the problems themselves. This provides a more challenging opportunity for students to determine the steps to solve each problem as well as which operation to use. This is great for your students who are fluent in their facts but need to work on interpreting story problems independently.
Each version of the project includes:
- A 21 page project (with 5 different parts, invite guests, decorations, food & drink, games and total cost). Includes a real recipe for Snow Cones and Hot Cocoa Bombs as well as fun winter game ideas!
- 3 pages of project extensions
- A printable and digital version of the project
- An answer key (note: the answer key includes most answers but does not include every answer because some answers depend on student choices).
Skills included in this project are:
- Multiplication and division fact fluency
- Single step story problems
- Multi-step contextual problems including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- Interpreting factors, products, dividends, divisors and quotients
- Solving contextual problems involving the four operations including interpreting remainders
- Solve contextual problems involving multiplicative comparison
- Elapsed time problems
- Some measurement conversion
- Comparing decimals to hundredths
If your students enjoyed my Circus Party project, they will LOVE this Snowball Social Party Project!
