This is a worksheet that can be used in a Consumer Math class. There are 7 questions on this worksheet and each one gives 3 bits of information: 1) How much money you make an hour? 2) The hours you worked in the morning. 3) The hours you worked in the afternoon. Students are asked to use this information to calculate how much money they would make in a day. I have no included taxes in these problems, I felt like that would be better suited for an activity later in the year. This is simply

This assignment includes two recipes for desserts. The original recipe is listed on the worksheet, and the assignment is that the students need to make more than they originally thought. They must go through and, using their skills of adding and multiplying fractions, create new larger recipes. There are two columns on this assignment for each recipe. One column is for the recipe to be doubled and the other column is for the recipe to be made 4 times bigger.

This Math activity will not only reinforce the process of Mean, Median, Mode and Range, but it will also get your students out of their seats and talking to their classmates. Pass out one worksheet per student and have them interview their classmates until their entire worksheet is filled out, at that point they can return to their seat and complete the worksheet by using their interview answers as their data sets.
