Description
Are you looking for a high-level math project-based learning/problem solving project to use with your students for some fun Thanksgiving math--or truly at ANY time of the year! This "feast" themed project is perfect for this time of year, but no mention of any specific holiday is mentioned so there is tons of flexibility!
I know finding quality math tasks that are engaging and low-prep is tough--but I've got you covered!
- Do you want flexibility—a math resource that can be used with small enrichment groups or can be tiered so you can use it with your entire class…but at different levels?
- Do you want your students to be problem solving, thinking creatively, writing and talking about math, and working collaboratively?
- Do you want them working on math in “real world” contexts?
- Do you want to have both PRINT and DIGITAL options available all in one resource?
This may be just what you are looking for!

For years, I have wished and hoped for a resource that would provide my students with high-quality, open-ended tasks to allow them to apply what they learn to real world situations. Guess what? They are hard to find! So I thought and I thought…and finally, the idea for a flexible, high-level series of problems came to me.
They can be used
- whole class
- with enrichment groups
- for fast finishers
- or even in different ways with different groups of students.
Again, this version is PERFECT for use around Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday where a "feast" is in order (no holiday is explicitly mentioned) as it asks students to use the information presented to budget time and food to plan out the meal preparations. There are lots of factors to consider--this is not a fill-in-the-blank resource!
Each of the resources in this series is based on a different real world theme--like planning a holiday feast--and students need to use the "Math by the Numbers" posters (available in full color to laminate for centers and in black and white for easy copying) to work on a multiple step, open ended project.
The activity is tiered so that the same activity is available at different levels. Not only that, but you get additional math practice sheets (also tiered), suggestions for math discussions, extension activities, and more!
This version focuses on elapsed time, basic fraction concepts, reading tables, and multi-step problem solving. It is ideal for grades 3 and 4 and could be used in other grade levels at your discretion. I hope you enjoy it--and the flexibility it offers you.
