Projects
Everyday Math projects are cross-curricular, drawing on and developing skills and concepts in reading, writing, social studies, art and science. In order to do a project well, you will need to spend several hours on it. Therefore, it may count as all four nights of your math homework. If you choose to take on a project, you will need to print out the pdf and make sure you complete ALL of the parts. Start early in the week so you're not rushed. Have fun!!
