Big puzzle mural
Give each group a 42-piece blank puzzle and a theme like "our community." Every child decorates a few pieces, then the class assembles the mural together. Teamwork and art in one project.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
