5.NBT Math Project | Future City Development Council: International Supply Contract Analysis
Description
This Grade 5 math project gives students the role of procurement analysts for the Future City Development Council. Students review three international supply contracts, analyze pricing and delivery data, solve whole-number and decimal problems, and write a final recommendation based on mathematical evidence.
Students complete a sequence of project tasks that build toward a Final Council Recommendation Report. Throughout the project, they work with place value, powers of 10, decimal comparison, rounding, multi-digit operations, and decimal operations in a real-world contract analysis scenario.
This resource is designed to feel professional, structured, and purposeful while still being accessible for upper elementary students.
What’s Included
- Student cover and project introduction
- Contract data tables for analysis
- 5 structured project parts
- Final Council Recommendation Report
- Complete answer key
- 2-page rubric
- Teacher guide with pacing, implementation notes, discussion prompts, common misconceptions, and differentiation options
Math Skills Covered
- Read, write, and compare decimals
- Use place value reasoning
- Explain patterns with powers of 10
- Round decimals to estimate
- Multiply multi-digit whole numbers
- Divide whole numbers using larger dividends and divisors
- Add, multiply, and divide decimals in context
- Compare data and justify decisions with evidence
Standards Covered
This project aligns to:
- 5.NBT.A.1
- 5.NBT.A.2
- 5.NBT.A.3
- 5.NBT.A.4
- 5.NBT.B.5
- 5.NBT.B.6
- 5.NBT.B.7
Best For
- math project-based learning
- performance tasks
- enrichment
- assessment
- small group or whole class instruction
- end-of-unit application for 5.NBT standards
Teacher Notes
This project can be completed over several class periods and works well as a culminating task for the 5.NBT domain. Students are asked to explain their thinking, compare contract options, and support a final recommendation using math evidence from across the project.
