See What Teachers Are Saying…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This collection of math projects covers all of the main topics we are covering in 5th grade. I appreciate that this stretched them beyond worksheets. My fast finishers found that some were more challenging than others. The other thing I used them for were refreshers for my 6th and 7th graders. This helped them do something fun and relatively easy before adding the next scaffold; would work for a sub too as long as the kids understand the concepts already.” – Heather D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I love using these real world activities as worksheets. I break them up and use them as the application after various lesson. .” – Brian B.

Skills Covered:

• Place value and operations
