I am a math interventionist, so I see 4 kids max at a time. I really enjoyed this mini project. The kids enjoyed being able to purchase different items/bugs from the shop while trying to stay within budget. I liked that there were practice scenarios in this resource, it was a perfect mini lesson before starting the actual project.

My students really enjoyed this, especially when I had one student in charge of the 'purchasing.' Fun way to review and practice money math. I struggled a bit to prep and store the items for purchase but it was worth a little extra hassle.
