Create a Sales Receipt Math Activity Using Percent, Discount, Tax, and Tip

Description

A full day math activity to use with 7th grade after you have taught your unit on percent, discounts, markups, tax, and tip. This activity lets students get a hands on learning experience with money and sales receipts. Students get to choose what they want to eat from a given menu and have to create their own sales receipt for the items they purchase. During this activity, students will apply a discount, a sales tax, and a tip to their bills total. They will also learn that you should apply the tip to the subtotal, not the total of their bill so that you are not tipping on taxed money.

This was always a students favorite activity that I have done many times in my classroom and students walk away knowing how the math we do in class can be used in real life scenarios.

CCSS7.EE.B.3

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

CCSS7.EE.B.4

Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

CCSS7.RP.A.3

Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
