Pop-up Math Book Project

Students will create a short book utilizing pop-ups to explain one concept we learned in math this year. Before starting the project, students brainstorm ideas, watch a video on pop-ups, and had a visit and demonstration from fifth grade pop-up experts. The story should contain several problems related to the chosen math concept explained by a main character.
