Description

This gingerbread math project is perfect for the Christmas, winter, and December seasons to help students solve real-world math problems and work with a budget (financial literacy). With a gingerbread house theme, this project is perfect for December without being holiday-focused!

This pack is perfect for both the classrooms that celebrate Christmas and those that do not, as specific holiday and Christmas wording is not included.

Use it with your whole class or as an enrichment activity!

This task is differentiated on three levels and requires critical thinking from your students. Students will use all operations in this real-world project.

Students will also use their error analysis and math critiquing skills as they work through trying to find the way to make the biggest profit-building gingerbread houses.

This project also allows students to work together and present their mathematical thinking and creative work to their classmates.

Save over 20% when purchasing the math performance task bundle!

This set includes both print and digital options.
