Decimals Project Based Learning 5th grade Math
Go beyond the lemonade stand project to work with decimals, percentages, graphing, and problem solving with build a business project based learning. In this student-tested and approved project, students select from a list of 3 businesses. Over a 4-part simulation, the students must react to different scenarios that effect costs and prices.
Included in this 90+ page resource:
3 businesses to choose from
4-part simulation for each business
Teacher directions
Build a Business goes beyond math to important life skill development. Students are decision makers, analysts, and of course, mathematicians. They develop their skills in graphing, financial literacy, percents, and more.
This is a great project for upper elementary classrooms. Give it to the whole class or differentiate by providing the project to small groups or individuals. Outstanding for gifted students as well.
NOTE: This product is a simplified version of the Not Your Lemonade Stand Math simulation for middle school. This product is specifically geared towards upper elementary students.
Standards: CCSS5.MD.B.2, CCSS5.MD.B.2, CCSS5.MD.B.2

What teacher say about this business simulation:
This project includes challenging mathematical thinking and real-life applications WITH student choice- what more could you ask for? This is a challenge for my high fifth graders, and they LOVE it.
Such a thorough package! I used some of it for my elementary unit and others for Seniors. So it was pretty versatile. Thanks for all your hard work.
This resource was incredibly impactful- my students enjoyed it and learned a great deal!
My students found this project very engaging and fun.
