Holiday Cookie Christmas Math Project, Differentiated Open-Ended Problem Solving

Created by

This differentiated Christmas math project challenges 4th grade and 5th grade students with real-world problem solving centered around holiday cookie baking. Students apply fraction and mixed number addition and subtraction, basic multiplication, table reading, and multi-step problem solving through a low floor high ceiling task — at two levels so every learner is challenged. This isn't a worksheet. It's a thinking task. Note: Although this resource works beautifully as a Christmas math activity

Title: Snowball Launcher — Projectile Motion STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligned)Description (emoji-friendly): Launch into winter physics! ❄️ Students test a paper-ball or pom-pom “snowball” launcher to explore projectile motion. Teams hold pullback constant and vary launch angle, measuring distance vs. angle to discover the peak near 45°. They graph data, justify conclusions with CER, and (optionally) estimate launch speed using the range formula. 🎯📈 NGSS Alignment: 3–5: 3-5-ET
