Math Project-Create Own Dream Home-Blueprints and Floor Plan (perimeter & area)
Create blueprints and/or floor plans for your own dream home!!
Your little architects will love dreaming big with this project. Using their imaginations and graph paper, they will create their own blueprints.They will be learning area, measurement and perfecting those problem solving and critical thinking skills. The bonus is they won't even know it because they will be having fun.
This project is very "real life" oriented.
For the younger grades this would be better for the GT students. Or

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- FERRIS WHEELS plus Primary Sources
In this GATE engineering journey, students will each construct a very cool Ferris wheel prototype as a final product. Along the way, they will examine primary source images, read primary source history, and integrate math, engineering, and economics in a learning process which incorporates best practices in gifted and talented education for 21st Century Learners.
This is a challenging engineering project—teacher guided. I used it for GATE 4th grade; however, my kids are experienced builders.

Powerful visual-mathematical connections with hands-on design challenges. . .
Everyone likes to cheer for someone, and the traditional pennant has been a mainstay of “fandom” for more than a century. Tried, tested, and refined with GATE nonverbal ability 4th and 5th graders, this lesson should be a hit with 6th grade, 7th grade (or beyond) too!
In this lesson, students use geometry, number sense, and measurement skills to design their own pennants. The keyword is PRECISION in these designs.
