As we begin 2022 with the possibility of needing to plan for continuity of learning either by providing a TTOC with a plan while a teacher is absent or to develop a plan for online learning due to a health or functional school closure, the following resources may provide some ideas for creating short/five-day math plans that focus on a project or related tasks.
With thanks to Shaheen Musani, district teacher consultant for curriculum integration for her collaboration.

A reminder that Shaheen created some numeracy projects in the spring of 2020 that can be found here: https://blogs.sd38.bc.ca/sd38mathandscience/bc-2020-continuity-of-learning/
(scroll down the page to find projects for grades 8&9 that focus on surface area, scale factors, data analysis and linear relationships)
The following are some websites with a focus on project-based learning and tasks focused on mathematical modelling:
