Description

Working dog parents rejoice! Businesses that provide daycare, grooming, and boarding for our furry friends are popping up across the country. Now we're asking students to create one of their very own.

Create Your Own Dog Business is a real-world math project that gives students the freedom to create and design a dog business. They'll use the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to find a location, secure a bank loan, choose equipment, use a blueprint to design different rooms, create and price grooming services, price homemade dog treats, market their business, and more.

Students will complete the ten steps of this resource to create their own dog business. Each step is a different activity that they must complete.

Review of Important Math Concepts:

•Addition

•Subtraction

•Multiplication

•Division
