Description
Throughout this St. Patrick's Day Math Project, students will EXPLORE IRELAND! Your students are going to love practicing their adding and subtracting skills while planning their trip to Ireland.
I was introduced to a similar project concept while I was student teaching, and I have adapted the project over the years to meet the needs of my students. This is one of the projects that my students are most enthusiastic about year after year! I use it throughout the year to teach or assess addition and subtraction and elapsed time. Most often, I use it in March to coincide with St. Patrick's Day.
Details About the St. Patrick's Day Math Project
Students take a 5 day trip to Ireland with a $3,500 budget. They must carefully spend their money and keep close track of their budget so that they don't go over.
This Math Project Includes:
- Student instruction sheet
- Recording sheets for all the days they are in Ireland
- Differentiated price sheets
- Reflection sheets
- A complete DIGITAL Google Slides version of the entire math project.
Differentiation Options:
The price sheets are differentiated for students-- one sheet uses only $5 and $10 increments where the other uses all dollar amounts. Check out the preview and HAVE FUN!
I have used this as a 3-5 day in-class math project, a take-home project, and in centers. Students love it so much they often beg to take it home to work on it!
****YOU CAN ALSO PURCHASE THIS MATH PROJECT IN A HUGE DISCOUNTED MATH PROJECTS BUNDLE! ****
What are teachers saying about this St. Patrick's Day Math Project?
"My students loved this more real-world approach to math. I was able to use this in small groups where they excelled at addition and subtraction as an enrichment piece. I will definitely use this again with my kids this upcoming fall. Thank you!" - Erin G.
"This was such a fun way for my students to apply their math skills to a real world experience. They were excited to do this activity and it was challenging enough to keep them thinking, but didn't cause frustration. Thank you!" - Amber S.
"This was AMAZING! I used this the day before Spring Break, since we are missing St. Patrick's Day. My students absolutely loved completing this math project and one even said "Now I know what my parents are talking about when they say vacation is expensive!" My students really saw the real world connection. Thank you!" - So On and So 4th
