I'm not going to lie, I have been uninspired recently. Last week, I was desperately searching for a fun end-of-year project that aligned with the book "Math Curse." No luck... Then I realized that I could just make something of my own instead of using my time searching for something! Here is what I came up with:
I read this book at the beginning of the school year and told my students that we would be able to solve all the problems by the end of fourth grade. PRESSURE! I obviously had to follow through...
I typed up what I felt to be the most engaging problems from the book, also keeping in my mind the ability level of my students. The last question on the worksheet encourages students to think outside the box and create their own MATH CURSE!
Students then published their MATH CURSE on the template shown below. They had a blast! I was blown away by how rigorous some of their math problems were! (Check out the two examples that are typed in the picture below... talk about good work!)
Finally, I pulled 10 questions from the students' work to create a quiz for the students to complete the following day. The project took three days in all.
