Description
5th Grade INCLUDES DIGITAL VERSION compatible with Google Drive/Google Classroom! Take a virtual trip to the water park and solve these engaging math problems! Differentiated and includes two different versions AND Includes 4 different extension activities! Measurement, Fractions & More!
Answer key and parent/teacher key math strategy notes included!
This project is great for students to work on as an independent early finisher activity, during math centers, or during small group instruction. It is also a great real-world math application for DISTANCE LEARNING and home school students!
Water Park Wonders is a great differentiated enrichment math project for 5th grade!
It gives students meaningful, real-world application problems for some of the most difficult standards in fifth grade! It focuses on the following concepts:
- Area tiling with fractional side lengths
- Calculating volume,
- Measurement conversion
- Multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers and decimals
It includes four extension activities that include fifth grade concepts of additive volume and measurement conversion as well as extend into sixth grade standards with percentages and unit rates. It is fun and engaging and allows students to use their creativity to think of fun names for each water slide and create their own water park at the end!
This project can be used in a variety of different ways including (but not limited to), an early-finisher enrichment project, an ongoing small group project, a distance learning project for students to practice skills and strategies they have learned on key concepts and more!
This project is differentiated with two levels to give all fifth graders an appropriate level of challenge. Both versions of the project are aligned to standards 5.NBT.B.5, 5.NBT.B.6, 5.NBT.B.7, 5.MD.A.1, 5.MD.C.5, & 5.NF.B.4
- Level 1: This level focuses on the concept of area tiling with some whole numbers and some fractional side lengths. It includes some basic measurement conversions and multiplication of multi-digit numbers. It uses “friendly” decimal numbers for multiplication and division. It focuses on the formula for finding volume with whole numbers.
- Level 2: This level goes much deeper with challenging computation practice. It uses fractional side lengths for all area tiling problems. It includes larger measurement conversion with multiplication and division with larger multi-digit whole numbers. It also extends beyond just the formula for finding volume, to finding the number of gallons needed in a pool using the formula length x width x depth x 7.5 (because there are 7.5 gallons per cubic foot), which allows students to practice computation with large whole numbers and decimals as well. The decimal numbers used are more challenging in this level as well.
This project also includes four extension activities that can be used as an additional challenge for students to practice. Students do not need to complete these in order but can pick and choose which ones to complete, or can complete the ones assigned by their teacher. These activities are aligned to standards 5.NBT.B.5, 5.NBT.B.6, 5.NBT.B.7, 5.MD.A.1, 5.MD.C.5, 6.RP.A.3b, 6.RP.A.3c, 6.NS.B.2
Project opens as a ZIP file and includes:
- Printable PDF version of each level and the extensions
- A Digital Power Point version that can be uploaded to Google Slides (with easy-to-use "type answer here" boxes for students)
- An answer key for every page
- A parent/teacher math strategies guide which highlights the key math strategies students will use on the project! Great for distance learning!
I hope you enjoy this fun and engaging project!
