Description
Turn your students into a classroom of kid CEOs! Students will use their creativity to design a business that is of interest to them. They will be guided through a business plan that uses multi-digit multiplication, addition, and subtraction to build their very own business. Students will be challenged to use math strategies and logical thinking to create a plan for their store. Throughout the plan, students will also have creative opportunities to invent products, design a store front, and use advertising strategies. This product also includes several extension activities.
This project can be shared with students and completed digitally or printed into a work book. You will have the ability to edit and pick/choose which activities you would like your students to complete.
Table of contents is listed below....
Brainstorm Your Business
Students are the CEO! They are able to make all of the decisions about their very business. What will they sell? What will it look like? What is their focus? Where will it be? Students will be able to use their creativity to design a business that is meaningful and interesting to them.
Starting Your Business
Starting their business will cost money. Before they begin, they will calculate how much they will spend on their business, the store, etc. They will use multiplication to determine the yearly costs of rent, internet, electric, and maintenance. Then, they will use multi-digit addition to calculate their yearly business costs.
Making Your Product
Students will create and design the products they want to sell. They will design what the product will look like, what it will do, and determine how much it will cost to make. Then, they will multiply the cost to determine how much it will cost to make enough product to last the year. Last, they will add the large numbers to determine the total cost of their products.
Selling Your Product
Students will compare numbers to determine how much they want to charge customers for their products. They will be asked to take into account how much it costs to make the product. Students will multiply the money earned from each product by the number of products they expect to sell. They will add up the total expected income.
Running Your Business
Students will check on their business "a year later." They will use the "red" and "green" numbers to calculate how much their business earned that year.
Extension Activities
This project includes several extension activities for follow up or early finishers.
The following pages are included as extension activities...
- design a business card
- create a billboard
- create a commercial
- create a business slogan
- write an opinion essay, explaining the three reasons why people should shop at their business
- write an informative essay, detailing three advertising strategies they would use to promote their business and why they would choose those strategies
