⭐ Plan a Thanksgiving Dinner Feast with this fun low-prep project-based learning activity that's perfect for integrating meaningful hands-on learning this Thanksgiving. Students use 2nd grade math standards to plan their own Thanksgiving dinner. Your students will be in charge of planning, preparing, and serving a delicious Thanksgiving feast. This resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions - so it's the perfect activity to increase engagement and interest in any classroom setting.

⭐ Students complete math-based tasks like determining the ingredients and baking time for dinner rolls, calculating the masses of all the ingredients to make the side dishes, baking and dividing five types of pie into equal parts, solving word problems, using geometry to set the tables for the feast, and more! Additional "challenge activities" engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.

⭐ This resource was designed to be easy for teachers to implement while maintaining rigor and meaningful skills-based practice. Low-prep Google Slides and print-and-go PDF formats are both included.

⭐ This project-based learning task involves using the following CCSS math standards to solve problems related to preparing a Thanksgiving feast.
