This project was part of an interdisciplinary unit on world religions. At the time of this assignment, the students were learning about Judaism and World War II. In math class, we were working with proportions. I created this project to give the students an idea of how far ideas can spread at the same time as they learned about map scales and applying proportions. The focus was on the spread of the Third Reich through the course of the war.

This activity was also part of the Judaism unit. Dreidel is a traditional Jewish game played during Chanukah. I developed an activity for the students to practice using percents based on the game. I used brightly colored dreidels and counting cubes as currency. This graphic organizer outlines the rules and gives the scoring table for the students to fill in. The activity is also an interdisciplinary activity, reaching into their ancient civilizations class and drawing from their studies of the Jewish people.
