We know it is a teachers job to help students when they need it, but quite often students can come a little too reliant on their teachers.
This poster gives students four strategies to help them solve problems before asking their teacher. It is a great visual tool that is easy to remember and has some great concepts that go beyond the classroom.
In my years of teaching, this fascinating project is consistently the most popular among my students. This dynamic PBL unit needs no prep from you and will actually make your kids excited about homework!
Why do students, parents, and teachers alike love this project so much? As an 8-12 week undertaking, kids get to explore in depth something they love, learn through both research and getting their hands dirty, and feel a sense of accomplishment through leading others. While it targets grades 4-9, it is editable and easily adaptable to any age group.
The process goes like this:
1.) Students select a new task or skill they want to learn about. Some examples of past choices include dressmaking, creating a video game, learning an instrument, cooking a 3-course meal for their family, and building a cubby house.
2.) Students research and complete the task within a specified time frame.
3.) As they progress, they keep an online diary of their learning journey outlining their successes and failures.
4.) When they have sufficiently learned their new skill, students then teach it family member or friend to show them what they have learned.
5.) At the conclusion of the project, students put together a presentation outlining their learning journey. This includes videos, photos, and feedback from family members and friends. They will also assess each other in accordance with a peer assessment rubric.
While this makes a great introduction to project management, time management, and presentation skills, students will come away from this with much more. This project also teaches grit, builds confidence, and encourages students to learn from and push through failure instead of fearing it. Indeed, success and failure are unimportant with this task. The true value lies in recording and learning from their successes and failures while sharing that knowledge with others.
Everything you need is included and completely editable. In this download, you will get:
Letters to Parents
Detailed descriptions for teachers, students, and parents
Summary Descriptions
Teaching Resources
Graphic Organizers
and much more
I guarantee this will be one of the most rewarding teaching and learning opportunities for both you and your students and one you can use for years to come and make your own.

Math fast food project: Welcome
This week long lesson package is intended to do three things
Get students using a range of mathematical strategies to understand the nutritional value of fast food.
Make students aware of the nutritional value of fast food and also identify how much exercise is required to burn it off.
Make students think twice about eating fast food once they understand the long term effects it can have on their bodies.
The lesson plan is put together in a PowerPoint format that you can edit to add any other fast food franchises or change to suit the needs of your students although the content within the presentation should easily meet the needs of your students without any alteration required.
The Content is broken into four one 60 - 90 minute lessons and would easily account for a weeks worth of maths once you get your students to present their results and reflect upon their learning.
