Engage students in meaningful, real-world math with this Ratios and Proportions Project: Mixing Paint. In this performance-based task, students apply ratio reasoning, unit rates, and proportions to analyze and create paint mixtures while justifying their mathematical thinking. This project challenges students to work through multi-step, real-life scenarios, encouraging deeper understanding and problem-solving rather than simple computation. Students must write ratios, solve proportions, interpre

In this STEM challenge, students will use what they know and what they can investigate about gravity, motion, forces and a target of their choosing (the Moon, Mars, or beyond!) to design and build a lander that will protect two “astronauts” when they touch down. Just as engineers had to develop solutions for landing different kinds of vehicles on the Moon and Mars, they will follow the engineering design process to design and build a shock-absorbing system out of simple materials; and improve yo
