There is a lot of pieces to each project so I have found myself giving them out very slowly to not overwhelm the students. They enjoyed the theme of each project and they are very closely related to the standards and appropriate for the age range.

I work internationally so we have students from all over the world who come to class with varying degrees of comfort with mathematics. These are great for all students but especially for those who are a bit more independent. It keeps them engaged so you can spend some time reteaching and/or reinforcing concepts with other students.
