Spring Themed Math Project for 4th Graders
I created this Spring project for the month of April to extend the regular curriculum and provide an additional challenge for 4th grade students who need more. Most of the problems are at a 5th grade level. This project is meant to be challenging. I have done it with 4th grade students.
