Project work for grades 6–8

Use this screen when your class is starting or working on a group project. It helps students in grades 6–8 stay organized, know what’s next, and work together smoothly.

Students see the day’s plan, their groups, and what needs to be done, all on one screen. They can check off steps as they go and see how many days are left until the project is due.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
