🎧 What if your next math review or intro lesson didn’t feel like a worksheet… but like a real, creative challenge your students couldn’t wait to do?

 If spring fever has hit your classroom, it’s time to switch gears and bring in hands-on math activities that are engaging, meaningful, and standards-aligned.

In this episode, I’m sharing three of my favorite hands-on math projects that work especially well this time of year. These projects are real, relevant, and rigorous—and teachers say they help learning stick.

✨ Why hands-on learning works so well during spring
 ✨ How to use math projects for spiral review or content mastery
 ✨ Teacher-tested projects your students will actually enjoy:

• Stained Glass Project (Linear Equations)
• Going Viral (Exponential Functions)
• Probability Games & Projects

Whether you need a break from the routine or want to review before state testing, these projects bring the fun and the depth.

Until next time,
 Keep getting messy with math, keep the hands-on learning opportunities high, and as always… keep it real.
