Million Dollar Project - Real World Math Project for Decimals and Money 4th 5th

This million dollar project gives your students a real world math project apply what they have learned about decimals, money, graphing, and percents. This makes a great financial literacy project to help kids understand costs, spending, and where money goes.

This resource includes:

Students can also put together a presentation of how they spent their money if you want to incorporate public speaking and presentation skills.

My students LOVE doing this project every year! It really helps them with computation skills, planning and organization, and grasping the concept of how much one million really is.

Depending on which components of this resource you choose to have students complete, and the level of your students, this project can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. You can control how much time you want to spend on it.
