Description

Plan Your Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner Menu with Math! Thanksgiving is a special time for family and friends, and what better way to celebrate than by planning your own Thanksgiving dinner menu? This fun and engaging Thanksgiving Math Project invites students to get creative while sharpening their math skills! Over the next few class periods, your students will work with menus, prices, and recipes to create a delicious feast!!!


In this project, students will explore 44 Menu Math Task Cards that challenge them to solve problems related to meal planning. They will use two different menus to help decide what dishes to include, and they can even customize their own menus without prices for a more personalized experience. This project is designed to help students practice important math skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.


Additionally, students will have the chance to read interesting passages about Thanksgiving and complete tasks that encourage critical thinking about the holiday. Plus, everything you need is included! Just print the materials, and you're ready to go. This Thanksgiving Math Project can be done individually, with a partner, or even in small groups.


Benefits of This Project:

  • Low Prep: Just print everything you need and go!
  • Differentiated Learning: Great for centers and reusable materials.
  • Engagement: Keeps students excited about math with a holiday twist!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize-to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents-and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
