Teach students how to successfully complete performance tasks independently by the end of the school year through this "Making Friendship Bracelets" performance task. Modeled after state testing expectations, students will learn how to work through a series of math problems by using math critical thinking skills. They will learn how to effectively use answers from previous problems to solve a variety of questions. Question types include reading and interpreting bar graphs, creating frequency tables, picture graphs, and tally charts, as well as practicing their adding, subtracting, and division. Students will then take their final information and design their own friendship bracelets. The standards implemented are based on third grade standards, but can be used for other grade levels to practice important math skills.
