Unit 1 · Culminating Projects

Two Ways to Show Mastery
🎉 Block Party Planner
Plan your own block party with your real numbers (GCF bags, LCM schedule, decimal budget, fair price per guest), interview a partner to compare plans, then measure your cost per guest against real cookout costs across U.S. cities.
Version B · Real-World Investigation🤖 Build-a-Bot Budget Lab
Be the purchasing engineer for your own robotics team with real prices (decimal money math, division, GCF toolkits, LCM charging schedule, budget), interview another engineer to compare orders, then check your spending against real robotics-kit costs.

How to Use These Projects
Standards: 6.NS.2 (multi-digit division), 6.NS.3 (decimal operations), 6.NS.4 (GCF, LCM, distributive property).
Both versions are parallel. They assess the same skills through different contexts, so you can assign Version A and Version B to different students and grade on the same rubric (built into each project). Great for choice boards, make-up work, or A/B class sections.
Built in: a Self → Peer → World arc (own
real data → partner interview → real-world comparison),
Visual Math Notes vocab with an EN/ES toggle, Formula Bank and
Sentence Frames, live oninput calculators with instant
feedback, Level 1 (support) / Level 2 (challenge,
distributive-property extension) toggle, save/load, a report with
Copy and .txt export, a progress bar, hints, a written deliverable,
a checklist, a rubric, and print.
