What educators are saying
Description
Your students will love Pizza STEM Project Based Learning (PBL)! It is a collection fun STEM activities that connects to many important math 5th grade standards, literacy, and economics concepts. This is a fun and tasty PBL. These projects are designed around the theme of pizza. Students research pizza and its history. (non-fiction text) Economics, literacy, and STEM (fractions and decimals) are all integrated into this week unit. You can either approach the math problems whole group or set up as stations. I have given you several choices on how to display the station directions. October is National Pizza month, but you can use this unit anytime in the year.
