Carnival Game Economics PBL Project-Based Learning GATE
Smaller tasks add up to big, big learning with this gold medal standard project-based learning activity! What a sneaky cool way to learn math, economics, and functional design! (Insert evil teacher laugh.) It’s a hands-on approach to Common Core Standards.
In Carnival Game Economics, students design a carnival skill game and gather data as junior market researchers during the test phase. They’ll use this data to help make decisions. After making calculations for probability, students will

T-Shirt Entrepreneurs PROJECT BASED LEARNING Math Economics GATE 4-8th
Your students will be excited for this “gold medal standard” project-based math, design, and economics activity. It’s appropriate and adaptable for 4th – 8th grade. It has been a staple for my 4th grade gifted and talented math group since 2013. You won’t be the sage on the stage. Students will problem-solve their way through the project working in collaborative teams, and the teacher will guide, be a resource, spur discussion, play devil’s advocate, and provide mini lessons when necessary.

Area of Complex Figures + Ratios - Real World Multi-Step and Projects GATE
I love to teach geometry because students must combine logic, visual perception, and math to solve problems. Why not add art and history into the mix as well?
Here is a challenging unit to reinforce basic understanding of calculating the area of complex figures. It will challenge the brightest students in your classroom!
We use vintage hotel and restaurant signs to solve problems about calculating the area of complex figures.
We begin with the basics and then ramp the level of challenge u

STEM Kid Engineering for GATE -- Pendulum Wrecking Ball and Magnetic Crane
Come on . . . who doesn’t at least occasionally want to smash stuff?! Use this as an independent project for future engineers, for a smaller STEM group--or if you have a “shop” at your disposal--as a whole class project.
I used this with 5th grade GATE. It could be extended to experienced 4th grade engineers or up through 7th and 8th grade. The math concepts will be a big stretch for the younger kids but provide a healthy discussion. They’ll be right on target for our middle schoolers.
