6th Grade Math Review Project – Middle School Math PBL – Fractions & Decimals

⭐️ “When am I ever going to use this?”

Stop answering that question and let your students run the shop. The Cupcake Shop Math Project is a comprehensive, real-world simulation that forces students to move beyond the textbook. From scaling secret recipes to calculating profit margins and solving business inequalities, this isn’t “fluff”—it’s high-rigor math in a high-engagement setting.

❤️ Why teachers love this:

• The “Collaboration” Win: Designed for teams of three, students take on roles to manage a menu, scale recipes, and handle inventory.
• Scaffolded Rigor: The project moves naturally from basic decimal operations to complex fraction scaling and writing/solving algebraic equations.
• Ultimate Teacher Ease: I’ve done the heavy lifting. This project includes group booklets, individual student booklets, recipe cards, and a full teacher guide. Print, prep, and watch them work.

✅ What’s Inside:

• Phase 1: The Launch. Menu design and decimal operations.
• Phase 2: The Kitchen. Scaling recipes using fraction multiplication and division.
• Phase 3: The Business. Writing and solving equations and inequalities based on profit and expenses.
• The Extras: Group Directions, Recipe Cards, Warm-ups, and a Step-by-Step Teacher Guide.

Standards Aligned: Perfect for 5th, 6th, and 7th-grade students.
