Decimal Multiplication Math - Cotton Candy Stand - Project Based Learning
By E•Fish•ient Teaching
Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.
This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.
What's included:
- A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
- A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
- A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
- The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
- Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
- A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
- A social media post for students to create.
The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.
Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.
What other teachers are saying:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."
These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

This task card combines the two math skills into an exciting discovery exercise. Students get to explore the effectiveness of certain formulas in generating primes (while they are doing lots of substitution). Eventually they will see that this exercise is futile, but will hopefully have fun on the journey.
