Math Project: 500 Wheel Brigade

This is my first time posting on Fifth Grade Freebies, and I'm excited to be a part of it! One thing you should probably know about me is that I love math projects. Another thing you should know is that I love critical thinking activities. When I can find a project that requires students to think critically and it happens to be about math, I especially love it.

Here is one I created called 500 Wheel Brigade. Students must design a parade of vehicles that has exactly 500 wheels. It is harder than it sounds because they have to use 5 different types of vehicles. You can even go totally crazy and have them design the parade so that the vehicles form a pattern.
