What’s Your Lucky Number? Math Projects for the End of the Year, Art Activities

Looking for engaging math projects for the end of the year? This “What’s Your Lucky Number” End of Year Math Project is math, art, and research all in one!  Math art activities will bring out your students' creative sides. This math art project will review math content from the previous year in a fun & interactive way!  

Best of all, this project requires NO PREP!  JUST PRESS PRINT! 

Ever wonder why all the other contents get to do research projects, but never math? Well here's your chance! Have your students research everything they can find out about a 2-digit number.  Not just any number, their lucky number! From its factors and multiples to an angle with that many degrees to a polygon with that many sides. This project is cumulative and covers number sense, measurement, and geometry.  

Research but make it cool.  Combine the math research with fun, silly facts about their number like celebrities, athletes, songs, and movies and you are their new favorite teacher! What athletes wear the number 24? What books, movies, or songs include 24 in the title? What famous events happened in 1924? Which celebrities are 24 years old?
