This was really cute! It was a little more difficult for some of my students with severe disabilities, but they still enjoyed most of the project.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project based learning! I use it as an end of topic review placing emphasis on multiplication and area in my third grade classroom. The students are excited to complete their "Grooming Center" and actively ask if they can work on it throughout the day. Amazing resource!!

I used this as an end-of-the-year activity that my class could work on as an early finisher. So many of them loved using this and it looked like they had a lot of fun with it.

Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
Measure areas by counting unit squares (square cm, square m, square in, square ft, and improvised units).
