Fraction Recipe Book Project
This is an activity I used to reinforce fraction operations in my 6th grade math class. The students created a class recipe book by each bringing in three of their favorite recipes. They had to include a list of ingredients, as well as instructions for doubling, tripling, or halving the recipe. They had a lot of fun designing their book covers and pages, adding in cooking tips and kitchen advice, and assembling the class book. They each received a copy to take home- and many of them brought

Dream House Project - Geometry/Measurement
This is a good project to bring in real life models to review geometry as well as measurement for perimeter and area. I use this closer to the end of the year and give students multiple weeks to finish assignment. You can also modify this by changing some of the requirements for special education students as well as add more challenging skills required for those higher students.

Tetra decagon Activity: Complex Polygons (Area, Perimeter, Measurement)
Students will use problem solving to first solve the tetra decagon puzzle (using tangrams). This introduces the students to complex shapes. Once they know what shapes make up the tetra decagon, they will find the area of each shape. This will help them to solve the area of the tetra decagon. Next, students will find the perimeter of the complex shape. Not only are the students practicing area and perimeter, but they have to measure the shapes and choose the appropriate formula!
