Get your students ready for state testing with this engaging and rigorous 6th grade math performance task bundle designed to mirror the structure and expectations of the SBAC and CAASPP assessments. This bundle includes three complete performance tasks that build deep mathematical understanding through real-world scenarios your students will actually care about.

Each task follows a consistent, student-friendly format and uses data tables, multi-step problem solving, and written explanations to strengthen both math skills and mathematical reasoning.

What’s Included in This Bundle: 🌮 Food Truck Festival Performance Task

Students take on the role of food truck owners preparing for a busy festival. Using a shared data table, they:

• Calculate ingredient quantities and total servings
• Determine how long supplies will last
• Analyze food storage using volume concepts
• Make decisions about inventory and supply management
• Explain their reasoning using math vocabulary and written justification

This task focuses on multiplication, division, and volume in a real-world business context.

Camping Trip Packing Performance Task

Students become campers planning supplies for a multi-day trip. Using a detailed table, they:

• Calculate food and water needs over multiple days
• Determine total quantities and group distributions
• Analyze storage space and packing constraints
• Make decisions to ensure all campers are prepared
• Justify their answers with clear mathematical explanations

This task strengthens ratios, division, multiplication, and volume concepts through a relatable outdoor scenario.

🍽️ Restaurant or Food Planning Performance Task (adjust if needed to match your exact third task)

Students step into a real-world planning role where they:

• Analyze data from a table to determine totals and needs
• Solve multi-step problems involving quantities and usage
• Make decisions based on efficiency and available resources
• Explain and defend their thinking using numbers, words, and equations

This task reinforces data analysis, multi-step problem solving, and real-world math applications.
