Description
The Math Tank Project is a creative, engaging end-of-year activity where middle school students invent a product or start a business and pitch it to a panel of “investors” (teachers, peers, or guests) — just like on the TV show Shark Tank. Students must create a business budget, determine production costs, set pricing, project profits, and calculate a business valuation based on their anticipated annual earnings. They also decide how much investment to ask for and what percentage of their company they’re offering in return — bringing together math, communication, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
This is a perfect post-testing end of year activity to engage students in learning!
