This bundle of project based learning activities is a great opportunity for students to show what they've learned about area, perimeter, and volume in a fun and engaging way. Design a Farm involves 3rd grade level basic area and perimeter, Design a Zoo aligns with 4th grade, and Design a City adds a 3D element with 5th grade volume. Great for differentiating to meet different ability levels!

(Suggested for grades 3 - 5)
