The document provides information about an upcoming classroom project called "The Next New Invention" that will last 5 weeks. Students will research famous inventions, brainstorm their own invention ideas, create models and presentations, and present and sell their inventions. They will apply math skills like writing out monetary amounts and using tables and graphs. Parents are encouraged to support the project by volunteering or attending the student presentations. The teacher will facilitate critical thinking through student conferences and supply resources, while encouraging independent problem solving.
