Thanksgiving Feast Project Based Learning 4th Grade Math Activity & Worksheets

⭐Plan a Thanksgiving Dinner Feast with this fun low-prep project-based learning activity that's perfect for integrating meaningful hands-on learning this Thanksgiving. Students use 4th grade math standards to plan their own Thanksgiving dinner. Your students will be in charge of planning, preparing, and serving a magnificent and delicious Thanksgiving feast. This resource contains a standards-based unit in both printable PDF and Google Slides versions - so it's the perfect activity to increase engagement and interest in any classroom. Students complete math-based activities like determining the ingredients and baking time for dinner rolls, calculating the masses of all the ingredients to make the side dishes, baking and dividing five types of pie into equal parts, comparing the sizes of the different pieces of pie, using geometry, area, and perimeter to set the tables for the feast and more! Additional "challenge activities" engage students and develop further understanding of the concepts and skills.

⭐ This resource was designed to be easy for teachers to implement while maintaining rigor and meaningful skills-based practice. Low-prep Google Slides and print-and-go PDF formats are both included.
