Description

Design a school store math project made simple! This differentiated, high-interest engaging math project will have students solving real-world math problems and working with a budget (financial literacy) while practicing math problem-solving skills. With a school store theme, this project is perfect to kick off the year or use as test prep during testing season!

This task is differentiated on three levels and requires critical thinking from your students. Students will use all operations in this real-world project.

This school fundraising event task is perfect for engaging your students any time of the year, during test prep season, as a fast finisher project, or anytime to promote independence for all levels of students.

Use it with your whole class or as an enrichment activity.

Tasks require students to work with money and calculate addition, subtraction, and multiplication with whole numbers. Students will also use their error analysis and math critiquing skills.

Each task also has a “Released from Duty” memo (extension word problem related to the task) for an additional challenge. This memo is designed to help students critique the work of others.

This project also provides an opportunity for students to work together and present their mathematical thinking and creative work to their classmates.

This project is perfect to use as a baseline assessment, too!

I used this math performance task at the beginning of the year, and it was a huge success! Students were fully engaged, applying math skills in a real-world scenario while I could assess their understanding of key concepts. The project is well-organized, easy to implement, and adaptable for different grade levels. A fantastic way to start the year with meaningful math practice!
