Bring real-world entrepreneurship to your classroom with this 10-page, black-and-white worksheet pack. Students develop and “pitch” Thanksgiving-themed food products while practicing Grade 5 math: multi-digit operations, decimals and percents, unit rates, graphing, and profit analysis. Each printable, letter-size page includes 10 problems, with the last item as a multi-step challenge that requires justification and clear mathematical reasoning.

What’s Included:

Worksheet 1: Pumpkin Pie Energy Bars – Startup Costs
Skills: Multi-digit operations, unit cost, profit and percent profit
Task: Calculate ingredient, packaging, and marketing costs; find revenue, profit, profit per unit, and percent profit.

Worksheet 2: Stuffing Chips Market Survey

Task: Convert survey counts to percents, compare categories, draw a bar graph, and interpret results for a product decision.

Worksheet 3: Cranberry Juice Profit Projection
Skills: Revenue, cost, profit; percent increase; rounding to the cent
Task: Compute revenue/cost/profit, evaluate growth in sales, analyze percent change, and discuss investment potential.

Worksheet 4: Sweet Potato Muffin Production Line
Skills: Scale factors, cost per item, fixed vs variable add-on costs
Task: Scale a batch, include energy costs, compute break-even price and profit margin, and explain production trade-offs.

Worksheet 5: Mashed Potato Budget Challenge
Skills: Budgeting with constraints, multiplication/division, unit rates
Task: Allocate a fixed budget across items, maximize servings, compute revenue and profit, and justify the plan.

Worksheet 6: Pumpkin Pie Price Test
Skills: Data tables, revenue maximization, demand reasoning
Task: Compare revenues at different prices, model price–quantity trade-offs, compute profit with costs, and recommend a price.

Worksheet 7: Thanksgiving Dessert Bundle Deals
Skills: Percent/discounts, bundled pricing, average cost
Task: Evaluate “Buy X Get Y” deals, compute savings and effective unit price, and compare promotional strategies.

Worksheet 8: Turkey Leftovers Catering Math

Task: Find cost per serving by tray type, plan for a target guest count, compute total cost, revenue, and profit margin.

Worksheet 9: Holiday Drink Startup Break-Even
Skills: Fixed vs variable costs, unit contribution, break-even analysis
Task: Determine profit per unit, calculate break-even quantity, test alternate price/cost scenarios, and interpret a profit graph.

Worksheet 10: Shark Tank Finale Pitch – Comparative Analysis
Skills: Multi-step synthesis, totals and averages, percent share
Task: Compare three products on revenue, profit, and margin; graph results; project sales growth; and choose a winner with justification.
