This 5-day project-based math resource applies math concepts in a real-world scenario to teach students about multiplication and division with multi-digit numbers. In this 5-day unit, students will multiply and divide multi-digit numbers to feed pets at an animal shelter. This multi-digit multiplication and long-division math project is engaging and authentic. Plus, it’s available as both a digital and print resource.
This project-based math resource covers concepts of multiplication and division and is aligned with the following 5th Grade Math Common Core State Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.5
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.B.6
Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
This resource is available in both Printable & Digital Google Slides versions.
