This resource was created to help reinforce the concept of working with percents. Specifically, students will be calculating discounts and sale prices on different items. This activity provides them with a real-world application of percentages as students shop for items. Prices are all in whole dollar amounts.
Options for implementation:
· Walk the Room – post the task cards around the room, give students a recording sheet and have them move from card to card performing the required calculations.
· Math Station – include the task cards as a station in your classroom. Cards can be broken up to create multiple stations (i.e. 4 cards per station) or have all 20 cards as one station
Extension:
· Give students a predetermined budget to spend. Have students spend as close to that amount as possible. Allow them to figure out what items they can purchase.
· Have students calculate sales tax and have them add that to their total amount.
Included in your download:
· 20 task cards with QR codes to check final prices
· Student recording sheet
· Answer Key with full calculations
Enjoy!
