My Dream Vehicle Gr 6-9 Math Project: Percents, Interest, Decimals
This project was designed with a certain group in mind - disengaged boys.
In this 20 page math project, students choose a vehicle from a newspaper or the local buy/sell/trade paper.
They'll choose what upgrades they'd like to make (new tires, paint job etc.) and then calculate the cost of the vehicle, with taxes, the upgrades- with taxes to figure out how much money they need from the bank.
Students also need to calculate the interest on their bank loan and their monthly payment.

Shopping Spree Project: Calculating Percent Discounts by Multiplying Decimals
I use this project during our multiplying decimals unit. Students apply their knowledge of decimals to calculate the percent discount on items at a store. Students create posters for their store and choose items to sell along with the price and percent discount. Other students can "buy" their items at a discounted price by calculating the percent discount. A rubric and practice assignment are included as well that I use to practice this skill.
