Before Thanksgiving break, kids get ansty! Get them out of their seats with this math activity that requires them to use:

-group work (recommended to work with students of similar math abilities)

-critical thinking

-logical reasoning

-real-life application (how to manage money shopping for Thanksgiving dinner)

-multiplication of decimals (or repeated addition of decimals depending upon how far you've taught in your pacing calendar)

Provided:

-shopping lists (tiered to 5 levels of difficulty)

-instructions

-shop signs

-graphic organizer for students to organize their work

-extension activity for early finishers

This activity is GREAT for review during the week of Thanksgiving. It always takes my students 1-2 class periods to complete.
