Whatever floats your boat - demonstrate how math helps us in real-life tasks
This activity can be used to teach practical applications of everything from early algebra through Calculus. Students will be tasked with building a boat out of aluminum foil to see how many pennies can be held. The mathematics behind the buoyancy of the boat is then discussed and the activity repeated to see quantifiably how much an understanding of mathematics helps us accomplish tasks in the real world.

Root beer Float Math Multiplication
This goes along with the root beer reading activity but this deals with multiplication word problems. I've seen struggles with interpreting word problems. I also left some practice problems dealing with finding the missing numbers and multiplications of threes. Let me know if you have trouble with the downloading and the formatting. From my end it looks fine once downloaded. I'll make a answer later on and re-upload.
