Take your students' learning to a new level with this adding and subtracting fractions project. They will also multiply a few fractions as they design a restaurant! This independent math project is perfect for engaging gifted learners. The elements offer choice and extend thinking. Project-based learning takes students deeper by asking them to solve multi-step math problems and apply their thinking in real-world scenarios. In this challenge, students will design a restaurant, think mathematically, and create a menu to showcase their work.
