Using Project Based Learning in your classroom is the perfect way to have your students incorporate reading, writing, math, critical thinking, and problem solving skills in a fun, real-life context. In these PBL units, students will complete a variety of rigorous and engaging real world tasks such as planning a camping trip, running an ice cream truck, planing a makeover of their classroom and more.

Give your students choice! As they work through these PBL activities, they will have the opportunity to make lots of decisions that will help to personalize their learning! In addition, I have included both a 5th and 6th grade version AS WELL AS a 3rd and 4th grade version in most of the units. This provides a wealth of scaffolds so that you can differentiate in your classroom and ENGAGE EVERY LEARNER!

THESE PROJECT BASED LEARNING ACTIVITIES ARE NO PREP! JUST PRINT AND GO!
