What educators are saying
This is a must have project for the holiday season! My students really loved being able to create their gingerbread houses and then write a persuasive paragraph advertising it to the public! This will become a standard for the Christmas season! Thanks!
Such a fun project to work on the week before break! Students were engaged and excited about the activity!
Description
In this project based learning math activity, students begin by designing a gingerbread house. They then add up their costs, including labor. After adding the mark-up, they finalize a price and begin their marketing. They develop creative and compelling language to include in their culminating brochure.
Students learn and develop skills in the following areas:
- Design
- Addition and subtraction with decimals (there is an option for whole numbers)
- Multiplication (solving for area)
- Descriptive and persuasive writing
- Revising and Editing
- Reflection
This project aligns will all essential components of PBL and all parts are provided in both digital and print form.
Students will love designing and marketing their gingerbread homes as they develop entrepreneurial skills along the way!
