Welcome to the Ultimate Tree Fort Math Project, a dynamic and interdisciplinary adventure tailored for students in grades 4-12.

This 25+ page booklet is filled with one-shot math sheets great for those times you were unable to plan, or early finishers, or even for a substitute teacher! Many of them can be adapted to varying grade levels from 2-8,or even higher. Many

Design an amusement park using various strands of Math! This mini-project includes 2D shapes, fractions, area, measurement, as well as data management and graphing. Great for end of year, culminating activities or even spiralling. You could also supplement this with Language Arts by having them create flyers/pamphlets or even commercials.
