Double Bubble Car Wash: Beginning of the Year Problem Solving Math Activity (PP)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Note this is a PowerPoint Presentation & Activity, all in one.
Double Bubble Car Wash: Intro. to Problem Solving through Depth and Complexity
The beginning of the year problem-solving activity is designed to engage your students with mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.
Part1:
Open-ended problem with no correct answer as long as students are able to prove their solution with mathematical evidence.
Part II:
Four unique extensions of the original problem using depth and complexity icons.
Can be used with multiple grade levels depending on their multiplication readiness. Originally designed for gifted 5th-grade students.
Solution: While it is likely not possible for a single-lane, single-franchise car wash to produce millions of satisfied customers each year, multiple-lane, multiple-franchise car washes could certainly support their claim.

Animal Cell Labeling 3D Diorama Science Project Pop Up Craft Activity
By That One Cheerful Classroom
Make reviewing animal cells fun with this engaging hands-on 3D diorama science craft project! Students learn about animal cells and then decorate a shoe box based on what they learned! Students are responsible for decorating the box and putting a creative scene inside that represents an animal cell. Students love it when they get to do projects and make their learning come to life!
Here’s what you’ll get:
What is a diorama?
A diorama is a three-dimensional scene built to illustrate a topic. Dioramas are small scenes created with layers of materials. A diorama can be made out of a shoe box or similar box that includes a variety of information and pictures about a topic.
Students create a diorama by cutting, coloring, painting, and gluing pieces inside the box to create a model that shows a situation, such as a historical event or animals in their natural environment. Students can be encouraged to add real features such as grass, sand, sticks, etc.
The dioramas do not come with specific assembly instructions. Students should learn about the animal cell first, and use the pieces within this resource to creatively build their own unique diorama! This is a fun way for students to learn and get hands-on with the lesson/topic.
Prep is quick and easy... print the pieces on cardstock for durability and let your students explore the water as an enrichment activity to your lesson plan.

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - Project Based Learning
By Manic Math Teacher
Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - PBL, Project Based Learning
This math art project embodies the principles of project-based learning, merging mathematics with artistic expression to engage students in a multifaceted educational experience. Students will graph 18 linear equations, meticulously tracing each line then creating intricate oblong shapes within spaces created by the lines.
The project culminates in a vibrant display of color as students fill in each unique shape, applying their understanding of mathematical concepts through a creative lens. This approach not only reinforces skills in graphing and geometry but also encourages artistic creativity and attention to detail. Ideal for fostering a deeper appreciation for the intersection of math and art, this project makes learning both interactive and visually compelling.
2 Versions Included
This math art project comes in two versions:
Equations are provided - this allows students to begin graph pre-determined equations, all projects will have the same outline. This will still allow for student artistic expression within their shape creation and color choices.
The second version is where students craft their own, adhering to specific criteria. The latter challenges gifted and talented learners, promoting higher-order thinking as they develop equations. This self-generated approach deepens understanding, fostering analytical skills and creative problem-solving in a mathematically artistic context.
Looking for more math and art? Try one of these!
