Blend real-world social media data with rigorous middle-school math in “Fall Festival Influencer Analytics.”
This 10-page, black-and-white worksheet pack walks students through seasonal, influencer-style scenarios—posts, reels, stories, collabs, and ticket sales—so they can analyze percent change, build linear models, interpret graphs, and reason with ratios and proportions. Each worksheet includes 10 accurate, skill-aligned questions and one black-and-white illustration prompt for print-friendly engagement.
