7th Grade Math Projects

Do your students ever wonder when they will use their math in their real life? Well this project is for you! Party Planning is a project based math activity with real life scenarios. Students will use their knowledge of the 6th grade math core and prior math concepts to plan their own party. Some of the skills used in this activity are least common multiple, greatest common factor, percentages, unit fractions, multiplication, and more. Check out the preview to see more.

This project is perfect for the end of 6th grade for the students to put into practice what they learned all year in math. Party Planning has an array of different math exercises. It seamlessly integrates the 6th grade math curriculum with real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts while igniting creativity. It could also be a great activity for the beginning of 7th grade math to refresh their memory of the skills they learned and will grow upon that year.

This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.

This resource works great as ...

• a task
• a class project (it takes roughly a week)
• distance learning
• math centers
• constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.

And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!

Are you looking for a fun way to assess angles, lines, using a protractor to draw angles, and angle relationships? Then look no further! This fun math activity provides students with an opportunity to be an Urban Planner. They will use list of instructions to create their own Seasonal Town (Falling Leaves Town, Winter Wonderland Town, Spring Showers Town and Summer Sun Town). Each project has the same set of instructions but the street names are different to reflect the appropriate seasonal town name. This will allow you to pick a season or even create the four seasons in your classroom.

This project helps students demonstrate their knowledge in the following:

• parallel lines
• perpendicular lines
• transversal lines
• acute angles
• obtuse angles
• scalene triangle
• equilateral triangle
• isosceles triangle
• quadrilaterals
• z, c, and f patterns creating from transversal lines
• relationships between intersecting lines

There is also a rubric included for assessment purposes. I have used this project with my students and they have always enjoyed it and its quick to mark. Bonus! Students will likely need a couple of classes to complete this assessment and I would recommend having them complete a rough copy first to plan out their town.

Enjoy!

Do you teach a math enrichment class, or do you have students in your grades 5 and 6 classrooms who are on enrichment programs? Particularly when it comes to multi-levelled classrooms, the focus tends to be on the students with academic struggles, but our strong students need opportunities to push themselves and to stay engaged.

In this document, you'll discover 32 pages of activities, projects, research and artistic activities in line with geometry and angles which will have your students keeping busy while your grade-level and below-grade level students can have you in other ways.

You'll find:

- 60 Constellation cards and a guide on how to use them.

- A second set of 60 constellation cards with "lettered" corners (i.e. ∠ABC).

- A set of response pages to measure all corners in the 60 given constellations.

- A reading comprehension piece on the history of constellations and astronomy.

- 2 pages of questions and an answer key for the reading comprehension piece.

Scrappy Patchwork Quilts

A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme. In this new version of cut and paste, students will make a scrappy quilt using a variety of pattern blocks included in the activity. The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).
