Constructivist Cat

This project comes with many variations to differentiate for students of all levels. The goal of the project is for students to plan a fair, either individually or in groups. Once they have planned the fair the answer keys tell you how many people actually attended and what activities they participated in. Students then do the math to find their real profits and revenue and reflect on the whole event by creating a presentation summarizing what happened and what they might do differently next tim

This math activity helps you celebrate a student birthday during math by having them sort colored confetti (preferably using an interactive screen of some kind) and then giving them a cake with the date to practice reading and counting the candles and finally filling out a calendar with that information. Ideally done with the class so it feels like a celebration. There are a variety of sorting slides, choose one per birthday. Enjoy!

This brief presentation gives a short history of Pi, a slide of the digits of Pi, two activities to help students calculate Pi, and a writing activity relating to Pi. Happy Pi Day!!
