Description

Students work in teams to apply their math skills to plan a Journey to Mars. If the trip takes 6 months there, and 6 months home and you will stay for 6 months, how much food and water will your crew need? Use the "Important information" provided to figure it out! Then prepare a colorful poster displaying your calculations, results, and your rocket ship with your team members peeking out!

Great project for a small group, independent (at or above grade level) center. Love the low floor, high ceiling aspect of it. I do wish it had an exemplar (answer sheet or model) of what to look for. I'm a non-math teacher doing interventions and I need answer keys! :)

CCSS4.NBT.B.5

Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

CCSS3.OA.A.3

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

CCSS3.OA.B.5

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
