Description
This math activity gives students real-world experience with calculating unit rates. Instead of a bunch of random and meaningless math problems, your students will practice this skill in the context of shopping for groceries.
To complete this activity, students will choose 10 grocery items to build their shopping list. For each item selected, they must calculate the unit price of various package sizes to determine which is the best deal.
There are 2 sets of the grocery cards so you can differentiate for students at different levels.
• Set 1: Some cards require rounding decimals to the hundredths place to determine the unit cost.
• Set 2: All cards divide evenly to the hundredths place and require no rounding.
Both sets have the same answers to make grading easy.
Includes:
• 2 sets of grocery cards (36 cards total)
• Student work pages
• Answer key
Besides meaningful math practice, this activity teaches an important life skill and can be in adult education settings or life skills classes.
