Description
This hands-on math activity allows your students to engage themselves in their school's semi-annual book fair while also working on their math skills.
In this activity, students will write down several books they find at the book fair along with the author and price. From there, they must write the price of each book in word form and expanded form (decimal).
Finally, there are word problems associated with the books and prices they have recorded. The questions included require students to add, subtract, and compare decimal numbers.

This was a fantastic resource in my 5th grade math classroom!
This activity was a great opportunity to have real life math scenarios. It was also really cool to see how excited kids were about books they wanted to purchase!
My 5th and 4th graders cover this in HW each night. I will assign this during the preview next week.
I transitioned to the math teacher after our book fair, but plan to use this next year. This is such a wonderful idea! Thank you for making it free!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you for the product and thank you for making it free!
This is a wonderful product! My students loved it!
Great for my upcoming unit!
Cute activity!
